Stuart's Drive Inns operated out of Houston, TX; there's some memorabilia on the Internet identifying the restaurant. I was given a vintage flannel as a gift from a friend a few months ago, also produced by Rawlings, and I'm also trying to accurately determine its age. Mine says "Parkwood Chevrolet" on the back and has an "L" on the front; it's also a vest style. I did some digging and found out that Parkwood Chevrolet was located in Lakewood, California, which explained why there was the "L". I am still looking for photos to determine it's exact age; I guess it from the late 50s-early 60s.

You can narrow the the period down by contacting collectors from the Houston area to see of they had seen this style of uniform. If you have the time to access any of the Houston newspapers from the 50s-60s that could also lead to identifying its age. There's a Net54 member, Chris Counts, who is quite familiar with flannels. Hopefully, he's seen your posting and can help, or you could also message him directly.

That's a great looking jersey!

That's great-looking jersey, and it's in quite nice shape. White or cream-colored jerseys often show stains, but this one is pretty clean. At MLBCollectors.com, you can see photos of mostly Cardinals jerseys with the "Hall of Fame" tag. It is on every jersey I looked at from 1954 to 1960. I couldn't find a single example from earlier or later. It's an awesome display piece, if you decide to keep it. If not, I'd be interested.

Here's an Ohio State jersey with the same tag ...

Rawlings used the Hall of Fame Flannels tagging from the mid 1950s through the early 1960s. It was their premier flannel at the time, and the Dodgers wore them as well as the Cardinals. Very high quality material... I used to have a Joe Pignatano Dodgers Home Flannel from 1960.

Oshman's Sporting Goods was a high-end chain of Sporting Goods stores based out of East End, TX. They expanded heavily into the Southern California area in the early 70s, and other peripheral areas as well.

Below is a detailed history of Oshman's which you may find interesting and pertinent to your jersey. Hope this is helpful...

I remember Oshman’s in Las Vegas in the 1980’s.
