A common style of 15th C. men's shirt that is often seen in the works of Flemish painter Hans Memlinc and Italian painters Antonello da Messina and Piero di Cosimo. This is proving to be an extremely popular style, as the shirt collar is excellent for shielding the throat and chest from drafts, and for protecting the doublet collar from dirt. There are also no ties to tickle, bunch up or make a lump under the doublet collar. Full in body and sleeves. Shirt has a gathered neck which measures approx.
Wrist closes with ocean pearl buttons.
