Comments: This square cut man's shirt
dates before the end of the Civil War. It looks as though someone
deliberately put the small split in the center back base of the collar
to increase the neck size (easily repaired). Exquisite handwork
throughout, including the pin-tucked and open drawn-work shirt front.
