C19th Bib Front Shirt (SH160) REDUCED

The plain front of this shirt reflects the growing austerity in men’s clothing.

After much experimentation we have found a cotton cambric which replicates the crisp cotton used in C19th. It is a humble cloth and the odd flaws adds to the very authentic look.

We have however found that the metal clips have caused very small rust stains on some of the right hand cuffs. Because of this we have reduced all the stock. The image shows the worst case mark. You may be lucky and find there is no mark at all.

Once they have sold we will order a new batch so these will not be discontinued.

These shirts were customarily worn with separate stiff collars so the neckbands are made with the appropriate buttonholes.

Do keep in mind it is usual to add ½in to the neckband collar size so a 15.5in shirt would need a 16in collar.

Single cuff.
