I am sewing the 1850's pattern 'Squares and Rectangles' working men's shirt using fabrics that are representative of the 1840's-1860's. I favor working with woven, yarn dyed 100% cotton yardages. The shirts are machine sewn for durability but the visual is period correct.
I will do hand sewn button holes for an additional $10.00 per shirt.
Below are a few swatches of prewashed, needle ready, yardage on hand. There are 5 more plaids in the brown and rust tones and a nice blue and white stripe and the same in green and white, now also washed and ready to cut.
also on hand are shades of plain muslin, grays and blues.
See sizes at bottom of this page. XXL add $8.00 for additional yardage

Shirts for reenacting Civil War
SHIRT SIZING;
Military issue was one size fits all Squares and Rectangles pattern of a linen/cotton flannel. There were 11 million of these shirts purchased by the Union Army from 1861-1865 but less than a dozen survive today. There were also many shirts 'sent from home' made of printed and woven cotton, linen and wool.
I offer 4 sizes to fit todays' enlistee of larger size.
These measurements allow you 5" of movement room at the chest.
Medium ( the true 1860's size) will fit comfortably a
