of their shirts. There are at least 3 styles that are usable for re-inactors
of the 18th and 19th time periods...especially if one has to wear such for
every day events. I have used them for years...especially for

For that same shirt project, now that I have woken up and recognized the

devalifewear.com should do the trick. If you call them, they have several
fabrics they use in their designs.? Ask for a sample of what is
available...if the weight and weave is crucial. One of them is Devacloth

said that in the late 1500s you do find some shirts and shifts made of
cotton
