CHOOSE YOUR SIZE 


Our white Fundamental Work Shirt is just what the early-bird-gets-the-worm 19th century man would wear for his morning chores; afterward a jacket on top makes respectable outfit for errands in town.

This pull-over style shirt with a mandarin collar features five buttons up the partial front placket. With a decidedly vintage flavor and utilitarian function, the amply-sized gathered sleeves, pleating and pin-tucking at the chest provides a full range of motion for all those manly chores. Available in several colors.

Made from 100% pima cotton in a white; pre-washed and dried to keep shape. Machine wash cold and hang dry or professionally dry clean. Imported. Available in men’s sizes S - 4X.

Note: button color tone may vary.

Will be good for the summer, especially
The shirt is nice and roomy and soft, soft enough to wear in the summer. Had to get larger than I would normally wear so I could button the top button, had it tailored, all good........

Nice period shirt
This shirt is of good quality and just what I wanted for my gambler impression. Together with black suspenders, black arm bands, a string tie, and my black derby fit the holiday family photos.

You cannot go wrong with this shirt.
I am serious. It feels so good ( wash before wear ) that you just want to wear one every day. They are cool in another way. The stains that accumulate from a few small drops of stout may stick but the effect is an increase in the character or the shirt. I liked the first one so much that I bought two more. In this shirt, you can look diesel as hell or fop about on the town. Add a waistcoat though...for decorum's sake.

Great Shirt
I brought the shirt for an event and it needed to dye the shirt yellow, so I dyed the shirt the color I needed. The fabric took well to the dying process and looks and fits fantastic.

Work shirt
I really like this style, its really comfortable. But be sure to order a size larger than what you normally wear, I wear a size 17 neck and when I received my order and tried it on, it felt a little tight in the chest area, I think it had something to do with the way the shirt is sewn at the bottom of the opening, it kind of bunches up a bit. I sent it back and got a size 18-18.5 and now it fits a lot better.

Absolutely love it!
I have wanted a shirt like this for several years after seeing antique ones in flea markets in France. The shirt is very well made of soft, drapey cotton. Great with leggings! I've gotten many positive comments. Very comfortable.

really nice shirt
I really like the style of this shirt, I ordered a XL but it small too small so I exchanged it for a 2XL and it fits great! I will be buying more of these.

OK shirt
I liked the Laborers Shirt much better than this one. This was of a thinner material and I liked a collar much better than the mandarin look. Quality seemed ok but again in my opinion not as nice or authentic as the Laborer Shirt. If you like this style of pure white color and a thinner material than you could do worse I'd think. Just ok.

Sub-standard Quality
I had ordered this same item before in 2014 but H.E. has changed suppliers apparently. The original shirts were sturdy and very durable and I still wear them often. The current product quality is lighter weight, doesn't hold its shape, is poorly cut and generally shoddy. I won't be ordering again.

Beautiful shirt
I purchased this shirt to have cool protection from the sun. It fit true and is also beautiful. The arms do not get tight in any position. I bought the lightweight all cotton shirt to fit loose, not snug. The front is well made, pleated and buttoned from half way up the chest. It looks like a shirt Charles Ingalls would wear on Little House on the Prarie. Very nice. Would look good in a cowboy shoot.

Has more detail, with numerous pleats on each side of the buttons in front, than shows in picture. Light weight fabric, which is good, since this is worn in summer with a vest. Size is accurate, with good length for tucking in, and long torso men.
