SHIRTS ~ CUSTOM ORDER & STYLE INFORMATION

Immediately available shirts - See what we currently have ready and waiting to be shipped to you!



Poet (or pirate) shirts are those terribly romantic and debonair shirts that you see the hero (and sometimes the heroine) dashing about in. They are appropriate for many periods and occasions, and also happen to be exceptionally comfortable.

 Fancier poet shirt in silk  


Shirts may have a plain or yoke front, and they may have no collar, a plain band collar, pointed collar, or a ruff. Trim can also be added. The fancy shirts shown above are pleated and the collar and cuffs are trimmed. These are not basic gathered shirts!

 


Peasant shirts are similar to poet/pirate shirts but are much plainer. Peasant shirts don't have collars and typically don't have lace or other embellishments.

Fabric, Colors, Costs and Details

Any lightweight fabric, in any color, can be used for shirts. The default is unbleached muslin (a 100% cotton fabric) which is also the least expensive alternative. You are always welcome to provide the fabric for us, or give us a color sample to match for you. A basic gathered shirt of unbleached muslin starts at around $55., with no collar, plain cuffs, and a plain front opening with eyelets for lacing. Lest this sound too simple, bear in mind that at least 4 yards of fabric are gathered into it. A simpler design, the peasant shirt shown above is available starting at $50. Pleated shirt with collar and cuffs like the fancy ones shown above start around $85. If you have a more elaborate design in mind, send us a description and we will send you an estimate.
