Features a band style collar, slipover, four button opening and back yoke.Since shirt styles changed very little until the late 1800s, this shirt will be proper attire for early Colonial Era on through the Civil War. Osnaburg is a heavy weight 100% cotton fabric first made in Germany and named for that German City. The styling and fabric of this shirt clearly show evidence of the early European immigrants who helped settle America. Each style has dropped shoulder seams, large full sleeves and wooden buttons at the necessary places. It is made roomy and large for easy movement so do not expect it to fit like a modern day shirt. Correct to wear it outside or tucked in. If worn outside the trousers, you might want to belt it at the waist with one of our colored sashes. For added strength and longer wear, all seams have been serged to prevent raveling. The fabric is preshrunk for a better fit after the shirt is laundered. Excellent quality.
