This is a place for any extant garments in private collections from about 1941 back. There is no beginning date. The only rule is that it can't be currently in a museum and must be before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I mostly post items I've seen on ebay, etsy, or other auction sites so we will continue to have a record of them for research purposes. If you have antique clothing in your collection, please, email me pictures of them and I will gladly add them to this site.

18th Century Men's Shirt
From the seller:
A VERY RARE EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY ANTIQUE FRENCH GEORGIAN PERIOD 1714-1830 MEN'S THICK HEAVY FLAX LINEN SHIRT. THIS ITEM IS FROM A LARGE COLLECTION I BOUGHT IN PARIS, FRANCE IN THE 1980'S. THE HAND MADE SHIRT HAS MANY UNIQUE DETAILS WITH TIGHT PLEATING ALONG THE NECKLINE AND BACK SHOULDER SEAM AND A V SHAPE SEWN INTO THE SIDE SHOUDERS. THE CONDITION IS EXCELLENT FOR THIS PERIOD. THE 30 INCH SLEEVES (FROM CUFF TO CENTER COLLAR ALONG THE OUTER EDGE) ARE 3/4 LENGTH WITH A 54 INCH CHEST, 34 INCH LENGTH AND 22 INCHES FROM SHOULDER TO SHOULDER SEAMS.
From Me:
I wouldn't give such a broad range for Georgian but it is an 18th Century men's shirt. The weave looks rather coarse so maybe everyday folk wear?

Love this shirt! Great photos. By any chance do you have a photo of the inside of the collar of the shirt - off the manikin. I'm researching colonial shirts and have yet to see/learn how they sew down the other side of the collar when cartridge pleating is done. In skirts they just attach the completed waistband to the pleating, but I would think that would be bothersome to have it that way on the neck. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi! Welcome to my blog. Each of the items I post are items I found either on etsy or ebay - with far more of the latter. These are mostly not items from my own personal collection. The format of each blog post has a "From the seller" section, with the seller linked back to where I originally found the item. In this case, I found this shirt on ebay over four years ago. The seller - who took the pictures presumably- did not include ones of the inside of the shirt.
