Late 19th century handwoven linen men's shirt
This shirt is handwoven drapey pure linen, with a cotton collar and cuffs. This has been entirely handstitched. The front has been pintucked in fine pleats in order to draw the handwoven fabric around the body, and the back of the neck and the sleeves are likewise pleated and drawn in. This is a beautiful and very wearable example of these shirts, which are now very hard to find in such good condition. It is in almost-perfect condition, there is a tiny mark at the front which is hidden by the pleats, and the chunky buttons are a little worn. It measures 56cm from armpit to armpit lying flat, 51cm from shoulder seam to seam across the back of the neck, the sleeves are 53cm from shoulder seam to cuff, and it is 104cm long from shoulder seam to lower hem.
