Description

This oversized linen shirt is inspired by historical undergarments and everyday shirts worn from the 16th through the 19th centuries. Its construction draws on older garment traditions: a relaxed cut, dropped shoulder line, gathered neckline, and full sleeves shaped through volume rather than close tailoring.
Made from medium-weight linen, the shirt features a tie neckline, subtly gathered back, and gathered sleeves finished with elastic, double-layer gathered cuffs. The overall silhouette is loose and practical, echoing the function and simplicity of historical shirts.
While adapted for contemporary wear, the design keeps a clear connection to earlier clothing forms, making it suitable for those drawn to historical dress, folk clothing references, and timeless linen garments with a heritage character.

Hand wash or machine wash on a cool cycle. Dry flat. Use a hot steam iron if needed.

    Exceptionally well made unique piece of artwork. I feel as if finally my clothing reflects a magic place I have always wanted to belong to, I just never could find the right word for it. But now I have the right shirt for it 🙂 Elastic cuffs are very practical – it allows you to pull sleeves up on warmer days. I prefer this shirt in medium weight linen (I think, it gives it better shape), but for very hot weather light weight linen could be more practical. I am a big fan of medium and heavier weight linen, so it is very subjective. Egle was very easy and kind to communicate with. Thanks!
