We got a photo into our shop, looks about 1870/80, it a large family group, lots of half grown boys, on a porch. The interesting thing is the boys shirts, most of them half the half row of buttons, several with mismatched buttons, but a few have laces instead. The ones with laces have a little overlapping placard, it gives the impression their mom was embarrassed to have run out of buttons. I don't know how accurate that is, but it makes a very charming picture! We so often see people in their Sunday best, I love seeing what they would have looked like around the house.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

I imagine that is 100% how pioneer life was. It's not like mom had time to sit down and carve buttons out of wood or bone. I would love to see that photo sometime.

[@carlhicksjr8401]

As a CW reenactor, one VERY nice thing about the blousy sleeves is that help keep you cooler... less sweaty fabric clinging to you. I personally prefer a thin flannel to muslin or cotton as it tends to wick sweat off me and has less of that clammy feel. YMMV Buttoning the shirt to the trousers seems like it would be more trouble than it's worth. Trousers were meant to fit loosely, being held up with galluses or suspenders. Yes, some dandy fellahs had more fitted trousers, but that was less common.

[@Devin_Stromgren]

Here's some information you might find useful. A linen shirt will keep your skin about five degrees cooler than a shirt that is identical in every way except being made of cotton. Also, I've only ever seen that tab on fancy dress shirts.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yeah, my blousy shirts are linen and cotton. Love 'em and wear em in the summer. The plackard with the button was not rare, but it was reserved for dress shirts (real formal stuff).

[@bigblue6917]

Back in the 1960's they were still selling shirts in the UK with detached collars. One leading shirt manufacturer had a big marketing campaign because each shirt came with two collars. The whole thing ground to a halt when a smaller rival company brought out their range of shirts with the collar attached. They made a big thing about not having to mess about with collar studs any more. This basically lead to the end of the bigger company because they could not compete. They were not in a position to make the shirts with the collars attached.

Great story! Many things from the past is coming back again, and I mean way back in time!

@@ArizonaGhostriders UK used collar studs which were small and fiddly to use, and you always ended up dropping at least one of them.

[@bostonrailfan2427]

had no idea that the shirts were diverse yet simple as a performer, you have a connection with those detachable cuffs and collars: the phrase “off the cuff” referred to writing a speech with little notice on your detachable cuffs. the cloth ones gave way to cheap paper ones that you changed daily, which the speech was written on. the only ones who might have used those back in the day were the wealthy in the cities but they slowly made their way west by the 1890s into the turn of the century

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Interesting, that term was first used in print in 1936. Quite a bit after the Old West but very fascinating. Thanks.

[@bostonrailfan2427]

@@ArizonaGhostriders context is key: why he did it was to show he was speaking without any preparation at all, but to have done that means it had to have been common for years before then he was a vaudeville performer before movies, it was a move that wasn’t known to outsiders until he did it but it had to have been done a lot by others as nobody said it was something new or never done

[@551taylor]

Good one, Santee, but detachable collars were often attached using collar studs, as I used to wear them in the 1960s. The other benefit of detachable collars is that you could starch them to make them stiff, and borax them to make them shiny, without making the whole shirt uncomfortable. I used to have 7 collars to one shirt, while the other set were in the laundry. Putting a tie on meant putting the tie in the collar before bending it around the neck and doing up the front stud but, even so, the fold would crack over time. In those cases, poor people would sew a long, narrow patch over the crack, while the better off bought a new collar!

[@Devin_Stromgren]

A lot of those shirts used studs down the front instead of buttons as well, just like a proper black tie shirt still does today.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

I showed the stud twice in the video for the front. They could be attached in the back with buttons or studs back in the 1800s.

I was kinda hoping you'd mention collar shape and evolution. For example, why were "banker's collars" rounded off? Good info about the full front fly shirt not being seen in period photos til 1900 or so.

One day I'll do a video on detachable collars and go into more detail.
