Antique homespun shirt in medium weight linen; made with a combination of treadle and hand stitching. Details that make this shirt special; lots of heavy gathering of material in the back neckline and on the cuffs (see photos) added material reinforcement on shoulders, original embroidered initials on front in red. Shirt is in very nice condition; no holes or stains. The cotton collar is a later addition but could easily be removed by a new owner if desired; no other modifications are noticed. The shirt buttons up the front and at the cuffs with original buttons. The homespun is a wonderful grade of natural linen. This piece could be worn “as is” or as a dress retailer or tunic with a belt, as shown in the last photos (belt not included).
