Certain times and events call for an assortment in wardrobe selections. Even era specific attire for the aficionado must be of varied content. This particular shirt with emphasis on the high collar as well as the bib chest is a great addition to one's collection. The high collar is still within comfort height for fashionable Victorian Era dinners and evening attire with just enough accent to, "get noticed and noted". No collection of any caliber should be without an all around dress shirt that is comfortable and fits very well. "Please pase th'jelly!" EGAD!

As most gentlemen will acknowledge, there are various and sundry times when one's authentic and expensive jewelry collection is simply NOT appropriate to wear. It may depend upon the location and/or the attendees at some function as well as the perspective of the person wearing said enhancements. Imagine losing your $10,000 solid gold with diamond collar stud while frolicking at a bonfire. Simply dreadful!

Here's a shirt with the ability to morph into different aspects and appearances utilizing the ability to apply various collars pending whim and purpose. The term, "Chameleon Like", is certainly applicable. It's a decently built shirt for the era conscious aficionado who for certain times, and occasions, wishes to access different perspectives in wardrobe. Mine fits perfectly!

Historical Emporium really is a great place to shop for those who like the dress common to earlier times and fashions. This collar represents that period in history plus being of a sturdier quality, will wear better and hold up longer than any that are not reinforced. It all depends upon usage. Are you wearing the collar for a one time occasion or more times on several shirts?

Indeed, as of this writing there has not been an, "occasion". Having corrected this presumption, I propose to get on with the review... Redundancy is not my intent but as stated in the title, the key word here is, "reinforced". The collar itself may adorn any number of shirts on any number of that earlier word, now pluralized, "occasions". A collar of such an obviously classical specimen elevated to enhance the attire must be created with substance as well as being aesthetically complimentary to one's costume. This particularly handsome example fills both requirements very well and should certainly be considered for purchase.

I'm an 1830s western fur trade interpreter. I thought about making my own but had a hard time finding period webbing like this, so I just opted for the ready-made.

Giving to a much larger wasted neighbors . Belly button is 36 and looked like historic clown pants. I normally wear a 30 and the next pair I bought was still a little loose. Yes I did follow size chart
