Authentic reproduction of the Continental Army enlisted shirt from the American Revolutionary War period (circa 1775–1783). Entirely hand-stitched from fine white or cream linen, this shirt follows 18th-century tailoring practices with a loose body, long tail, and underarm gussets for ease of movement. Featuring a short stand collar with a single button or tie closure, this was the universal undergarment worn by both enlisted men and officers. Ideal for reenactors, collectors, and museums seeking period-accurate American Revolution attire.
