A white spearpoint collar shirt with a small mark on the right collar. Please see pictures for detail.
Available in size 15.5"
* Please note all reduced or sale items are non refundable. See terms and conditions for more.
These shirts are perfect replicas of early C20th formal shirts.
We now have a range of plain colourways other than just white. (Striped shirts are under SH190 or SH190R).
The collar shape is absolutely typical of the period and the collars themselves are made up with a deliberately soft, non fused interfacing which gives an authentically gentle look but they can take separate collar stiffeners. The collar itself is approximately 3in long at the front point.
We use a body pattern which is taken from original garments so the very opposite of slim fit and sleeve length is a generous 35in from centre back neck as standard and 37in extra long.
These shirts are available with Single cuffs and standard sleeve length. We also offer double cuff and extra long sleeves in the same style. All have traditional long shirt tails.
All fabrics used are 100% cotton.

Known as boiled front shirts, these have the traditional starched bib front and cuffs.
They were worn on all formal evening occasions by late Victorians and Edwardians with starched wing collar and white tie. The tradition continues today at very formal events such as white tie balls and certain regiments in the Army also insist on them as correct wear with Mess dress They are now virtually unobtainable but we have them specially made for us so the supply is secure.
Made in 100% cotton and feature a loop at the back neck to keep the tie in place and a loop at the bottom of the bib.
This shirt can be used with any of our stiff collars, available separately on the collar page.
If ordering a separate collar, do keep in mind it is usual to add ½in to the neckband collar size so a 15.5in shirt would need a 16in collar.
There is also a placket opening mid chest which enables the studs to be fastened without crumpling the bib.
Designed to close with 3 dress studs which are available separately.
Curved shirt tails.

Faulty Pair of our Cotton Drill Work Trousers. Reduced due to slight pull in knee and stain. see pictures. a One-off pair Size 34"
* Please note all reduced or sale items are non refundable. See terms and conditions for more.
We have finally responded to the insistent demands of our customers and produced high waisted trousers which match the work jackets.
They are made from the same high quality heavy cotton drill as the jackets.
These have been thoroughly washed so have immediate age and will continue to fade slightly with wear.
These traditional fishtail back trousers are cut using authentic patterns. They are finished with a strap and buckle at the back along with braces buttons. The fly is fully buttoned and there are deep side pockets.
They are best worn with our button braces as they should sit higher on the body than the modern position which is lower towards the hips.
The fit is generous so if in doubt buy a size smaller. As a guide, we recommend taking a measurement around your navel (high waist). Take up to 4in off this measurement and buy accordingly. With the smaller sizes (28in-34in) we advise reducing by only 2in.
When buying with the jacket JA100 we have found that the following ratios are most popular:
Jacket 40in - Trousers 32in
Jacket 42in - Trousers 34in
Measurements: Inside leg measurements unfinished at approximately 36 inches to allow for turn-ups.
Sizes: 26in - 54in waist

We have these neckband or collarless shirts made specially for us at martialartswushu. Unlike many tunic shirts the neckband is authentically very narrow which means it does not show above the collar. The cotton poplin used has been rewoven exclusively for us from original garments.
They come with one separate collar in the same fabric but can also be worn with any of our separate collars. The collar is a classic shape, neither too pointed nor too cutaway.
These shirts are fully buttoned down the length of the shirt, unlike our grandad shirts which have a half placket so pull over the head.

These Heavyweight Linen Jackets are the perfect answer to any man's dream of featuring in his very own Merchant Ivory production.
They are cut from an authentic Edwardian pattern, which is slightly longer than a modern jacket. Beautifully detailed, with genuine mother of pearl buttons. Even the cuff buttons are practical!
The linen is a really good heavy weight, as nothing is worse than flimsy, see through fabric.
The jacket can either be worn on its own or to complete the suit.
Made in England from very high quality Ivory Herringbone Linen and fully lined in 100% cotton.
You have made it clear to us that a fully lined jacket is preferable to half lined, so we have made that change. Some of the old half lined jackets are still available under the code, JA922.

These shoes are defective and are being sold at a reduced price. They are a one-off sale item.
We are delighted to be able to offer these men's C18th shoes in stone coloured leather which can dye.
They are the classic shape of the era with tongue and buckle which can be worn in any production from around 1700 to 1820. The buckles can be changed but not easily, as we couldn't devise a simple way of allowing for this. There is however elastic under the buckle, which allows for ease over the instep.
These are leather shoes with leather covered heels. The footbed or insole is not glued down, so it can be easily removed for cleaning.
Non slip soles.

These traditional fishtail back trousers are cut using authentic patterns and are made from hardwearing British cotton moleskin. They are finished with a strap and buckle at the back along with braces buttons. The fly is fully buttoned and there are deep side pockets.
They are best worn with our button braces as they should sit higher on the body than the modern position which is lower towards the hips.
