Thoughts On Men's Shirts In America 1750-1900 (by William L. Brown III) is a wonderful resource for reenactors, historians, and those interested in social history and material culture. Each specimen is illustrated with photographs and pattern drawings. In addition to the many pictures of shirt specimens for this book, Mr. Brown has also searched to find contemporary images. Using paintings, sketches, and early photographs Mr. Brown gives these inanimate shirts life by showing how average men were viewed in public by their peers. Soft cover, 128 pages.
