Toper - Golden Crown - Nylon Shirts Yugoslavia
The story about one of the best known and most successful Slovenian
Textile companies began in the period after the Second World War. The
name Toper is derived from the Slovenian
abbreviations for a factory of clothing (Tovarna perila), which was a
popular way of naming companies at the time. The first Toper yarn
factory dates to 1945. At first Toper produced only nylon shirts under
its name. The number of sales amounted to around almost 6 million shirts
per year, which is quite impressive. At that time only white shirts
were being worn, which were sold under the Toper logo Golden Crown.
