Men's Clothing
By Nate Couturier
Men's Shirts- Shoulder seams on shirts are cut very wide. The sleeves are cut full in the arms and the cuffs are very tight and narrow. Collars on shirts have a built in or have a band with squared points in the front. Work and plain shirts don't button all the way down, only four buttons were on the front. The shirts are fitted very loosely in the body. Most shirts are made of wool, flannel, heavy cotton, and linen. They come in white, plaid, stripes, and calicoes.
Men's Britches- Cut to fit the full leg and are hemmed to touch the top of the shoe neatly. Waistbands are tight, so they can stay up without braces. Trousers are baggy and fastened with a front button fly. Never wear the trousers too high or low, or too baggy or loose. They are usually crafted of wool, linen, jean cloth, or homespun.
