    Paypal preferred at Ross4thUSInfy@aol.com. Questions or "I'll take it" can be made via PM or email at Ind18th@aol.com. Here's the item:

    Completely handsewn civilian shirt/overshirt, sized 38-40 $95 shipping included. This shirt is constructed of Wambaugh, White, & Co. osnaburg (some of the best out there). It is a solid medium weight cotton, made from the typical square-cut pattern, but utilizing a period side-fold body(thereby making the selvedge edge the bottom hems). The neck is a smaller 15 1/2, but can be left open if used as an overshirt, which this would be perfect for. It has two full pockets on the front, utilizes antique white china buttons, and as you may discern from the images, is tightly stitched and has fully flat-felled seams. This one is built to last and would be an excellent all-around usage shirt or overshirt. This is an quality reproduction of an extensively used shirt of the mid 19th century

    Yes Ross,

    I proudly wear your shirts to simply show off the hand stitching to my more MS ACW friends. A work of Art among reconstructions. Well done!
