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.
The one I made has no laces or buttons and straight sleeves with no button cuff.
any pictures of this one that you would care to share Buba?
I have a couple of pieces of lightweight linen that i was thinking of making shirts out of but now that the jacobite/criss crossed laces at the collar look has been shot down i am not sure which was i want to go with this....

I'll see about getting a pic of it. It really is a simple shirt. loose straight sleeves, nothing at all to fancy it up. It's entirely utilitarian. I made it out of muslin.
Hang on - two countries divided by a single language - it can't mean the same thing.
In the UK muslin is a cotton gauze - not exactly a roughy toughy fabric, it would not stand up to my lifestyle - the number of garments I ruined when it was the stuff to use for hippy stuff....
Linen would be spot on - but in that era a shirt was underwear.
A gentleman in the street was considered undressed if he had less than five layers between himself and the air.
pleater, here muslin is a courser fabric than linen and not terribly soft. It's more of a utility fabric and very cheap. It comes in bleached (pure white) and unbleached. If you made underwear out of it you'd chaff REAL bad REAL fast.
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:
