Recycled linen shirt, dark grey patched shirt, shabby soft linen , medium.
The French paysanne recycled their precious handmade linen shirts and as the collar wore out, it was replaced or removed. As it got a hole, it was patched or mended to extend it's precious life. Such a change from today's throw away society.
This shabby shirt is about 100 years old, it has had the collar changed for one made from cotton, it has the most beautiful 'remise d'epoch' on both shoulders at the back. It does have holes around the arm hole area and patching on the lower front.
I have dyed it with a deep dark grey, which shows the patches and mends due to the differing fabrics.
There are 3 original white glass buttons down the front. The shape is gently 'A' line.
Measuring - medium
38 inches around the chest
39 inches long from top shoulder seam to hem
24.5 inches sleeve from centre chest to sleeve cuff
13 inches around the bicep - please measure around your arm!
15 inches collar
Any questions about the sizing, please ask - this item is non-stretch.
The linen is super soft and very finely woven.
Thanks for looking.
