Men’s Shirt, ca. 1810

antique rococo mens shirt 1790 1 antique rococo mens shirt 1790
Hand-sewn, hand-spun linen man's linen shirt with a high attached collar, center front neck slit, and cut with long tails, with the extra fabric used as a type of underwear to cover and protect body parts. Men's linen shirts are examples of some of the finest stitches found on domestic items of clothing. Usually stitched by wives or daughters, they were technical marvels of needlework seen in examples such as this shirt with rows of back-stitch on the cuffs that are 32 stitiches to the inch. The fine sewing also enabled the garments to survive both hard use and cleaning techniques such as boiling and the use of lye soap. The shirt comes from his American collection. Probably also made in the USA, Massachusets. Very good to excellent condition. Perhaps it was even the shirt of an officer. The decoration is not included.
