As a reenactor devoted to as much authenticity I can accomplish, I've seen quality repro shirts based on originals, and many pictures of actual original shirts as well. NONE of them from the "Jacobite period" - 1640's to 1740's - have the criss-cross "pirate shirt" lacing at the throat. Most close at the throat with a single button....

The one I made has no laces or buttons and straight sleeves with no button cuff.

The shirt is great though for the Ren Faires, you can wear it with leather wrist cuffs and cowboy boots with your belted plaid and no one would notice considering most that attend are completely and blissfully ignorant of anything before the present day.

Well, it's just that if you're wearing cowboy boots, you should have a REALLY big buckle on your kilt belt.

Well, now thanks to DaveDove here I won't be wearing my cowboy boots with my belted plaid since I don't have a big belt buckle. I guess that I'll have to join the rodeo and win one first, darn! :rolleyes:

You can spend well over $100 for a proper hand-sewn linen one...!

now now Pleater & bubba, you are both right... Muslins over this way come in multiple weights... from the super flimsy gauze like fabric - which would be a bit light for a shirt - to the almost canvas weight heavy duty stuff - often used for upholstery...which woudl rub your raw in ways that most people would not enjoy...
