WANTED XL Shirts

[Beaverquiver]

Good morning everyone,
I would like to start putting together an outfit for rendezvous and am beginning the search for shirts first. Looking for pullover styles with a preference for light colored stripes or something in blue (I look fabulous in blue!) but I'm open to suggestions. Size of large or XL should work. Send pics and prices if you have anything you would like to part with, please and thank you.

Just a quick idea/question that will help you get the right shirt. Might as well start right the first time around.

What time period are you interested in, earlier shirts tended to have armpit gaussets, large blousey sleeves and cuffs no wider an one inch.

19th century shirts were somewhat more tailord, could have a colar or detatchable colar, row of buttons down the front, and wider wrist cuffs. Tended to be somewhat shorter too.

Also, if ya live in a hot humid climate like I do, linen is much more cooler and breathes, wich cotton does not.


Hopes this helps you,
Gooba Jones Sr.

Thanks Gooba,
Good point on the linen, it can get quite hot and humid here in Missouri. Maybe not Georgia hot, but hot enough. Looking for late 18th to mid 19th century style.
