Kannik's Korner Shirt 1750-1800Man's pullover shirt with shoulder reinforcement panels, neck and underarm gussets, to be made plain for the common man or fancy with chest and wrist ruffles for the gentleman. In The Providence Gazette of 1771, "RUN away . . . an Englishman . . . Had on . . . a Check Shirt, with white Wristbands". This pattern calls for between 3 1/4 to 3 3/4 yds. but we feel about 2 1/3 yards is enough for one shirt or 4 yards for two shirts. Shirts may be made of off white linen shirting, 5.5 oz.. For poorer impressions unbleached linen, 6.5 oz or for a warm winter shirt white wool flannel. Three or (more commonly) four thread shirt buttons may be used. Many original shirts had two thread shirt buttons at the collar and removable sleeve buttons at the wrist band. Some argue for cloth covered buttons. For hand sewing the shirt use 35/2 linen thread to match. For officer's and gentlemen's shirts try the very fine and tightly woven linen shirting, 5.75 oz. with very fine 2.8 oz. linen bosom ruffles. Includes all sizes XS-XXXL $12.00 |
