Readers;
Would someone with more Knowledge, tell me how a laced shirt is connected with the Jacobites of the '45? Laced shirts are a century earlier, and the collar is different, and the cuffs were also tied.
The Shirts of the '45 should be a 4 inch collar, folded, with two collar buttons, and a 13 inch slit to the fore. Narrow cuffs, full bodied, close sleeves. Neckware is another topick of its own.
As my knowledge tells me, these poofy, laced shirts come to us from the Hollywood movies of the 1940's and the sqeaky clean pirates who wore them.
