Drop Shoulder Version (Style A) - is pre Civil War up into 1870's. The drop or off shoulders design. Gussets under the arm pits, the one that most Civil War re-enactors relate to. The drawings show pretty much what they look. Slits on sides and is great besides the military for those civilian that want a dress shirt. On Shoulder Version (Style B & C) - No Picture. This shirt went from 1870 until the turn of the century in the Pull-Over version (B) and from the 1880's through the 1920's+ in the Button-Up version (C). The shoulders are near the shoulder edge instead of off the shoulder, and there is no gusset, it still has the slit on side. This shirt is available as an Early Victorian Pull-Over (B) or a Late Victorian Button-Up (C). Button-On Linen Collar is shown but not included, they can be purchased for an additional charge.

Bibbed Front 100% cotton shirt has 4 button front closure, not including the stud hole for the collar. It is available in White, Red Stripe, Black Stripe or Navy Stripe. This is a slightly more dressy shirt than the plain front shirt. On the striped shirts, the stripes on the body are vertical and in the bib they are horizontal. Collar band and cuffs are the same material as the shirt. This is not a drop sleeve shirt nor does it have the gussets at the arm pits, so fits from Mid 1870's on. Button-On Collar is not included, but can be purchased for an additional charge. If you order a collar for this shirt, order it 1/2" larger than the neck size of the shirt. We currently stock this shirt in white, as well as in limited sizes of the color shirt (normally 5 to 14 day delivery).

White Starched Linen, Cotton, Linene or Celluloid collars for use with collarless / detachable collar shirts. "Linene": These are made the same way as they have been made since 1862. They are linen material laminated onto a stiff cardboard. They are very stiff and have material texture to them. The stud holes become soft and bent after a few time and they cannot be cleaned. They can be wiped off with a LIGHTLY damp sponge or cloth, but that usually doesn't do much. "Celluloid": This is an early form of plastic (1870s). They are very stiff, but they have MINIMUM MATERIAL TEXTURE to them, unlike the "Linene" or "Cotton". Each collar is fashioned from interlined acetate, a material made of white linen and a thin layer of acetate, giving the product the style of a fine cloth collar and the durability of a plastic one. A Buckley collar will never wilt under the heat of the stage lights or a difficult sermon. Other desired features include reinforced buttonholes, smooth, finished edges, and easy cleaning with soap and water. They will last longer than the "Linene", but not as long as the Cotton or Linen. "Linen": NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. These are the Stiff, heavily starched, Thin collars that are most often seen in antique stores, museums, etc. The are made from a thin linen and then heavily starched and ironed, with a special machine, or machines) designed for this (it starches the inside of the collar and irons the collar to be curved and go around the neck). They can be cleaned, BUT only re-starched and properly ironed with the machine designed to starch and iron collars. They last longer that "Linene" or "Celluloid" collars, but not as long as the thicker cotton collars. "Cotton": These are made from a medium weight cotton material. They are basically a standard collar that has been made detachable, they ARE NOT a Starched (Stiff) Linen Collar. They come UN-STARCHED and are therefore SOFT ** NOT STIFF **. They can be worn as a soft detachable collar, especially for those who do not like stiff collars or they can be starched with spray starch (I suggest heavy duty spray starch) and ironed. If you can find powdered starch you could soak them and then iron them, making them similar to the old Starched Linen Collars except thicker. CAUTION, they do not bend well after they are Heavily Starched and should be ironed with the proper curve to go around the neck. To properly starch and iron a collar requires a special machine, which I have heard that only one place in the U.S. still has one in use. I DO NOT know who has the machine, don't ask if I find out I will put the information here. These collars can be washed either by hand or in a washing machine. They are the longest lasting of our detachable collars. STUDS / BUTTONS. Either Buttons or Studs can be used to attach the collar to the shirt. We normally stock all the collars shown in all the sizes listed below, except for " Special Order" ones. "More styles are in Development". Collar styles will be dated for time period as soon as we can. Size / Measuring: DO NOT ORDER BY MODERN SHIRT NECK SIZE. Measure the band on the shirt you will be wearing the collar with. The size in inches is measured from the end of one of the front button holes closest to the collar opening, around the collar to the end of the other front button hole closest to the opening. The Collar Size is normally 1/2" to 1 1/2" larger than the shirt Neck size (IE: Shirt Size = Neck-Size x Sleeve-Length). |
