[IMAGE: Late 18th Century Shirt]

          Stuart Lilie Saddlery is pleased to offer custom handmade 18th Century shirts from seamstress Holly Wilkinson. This late 18th century shirt is patterned from details of originals in Thoughts on Men's Shirts in America, Rural Pennsylvania Clothing, and several 18th century shirts in the Winterthur Collection. Mrs. Wilkinson creates these shirts based on your custom measurements out of white shirt-weight linen, the most accurate material for the 18th century. Details on this garment include thread buttons, topstitching on the collar, wristbands, and gussets. All seams are handsewn with linen thread. The topstitching varies from 20 to 25 stitches per inch, depending on the precise weight of the fabric.

For all orders, queries, and special requests please contact Mrs. Wilkinson directly at holly.e.wilkinson@gmail.com


With your order, please include the following measurements:
  • Chest, around the largest part of the torso
  • Length, from the top fo the shoulder to the desired hem length of the shirt
  • Wrist, of the dominant hand
  • Neck
  • Nape of neck to shoulder
  • Nape of neck to wrist, with arm slightly bent

It is impossible to take accurate measurements by yourself, please have someone assist you with a flexible tape. If you have any questions about measurements, please inquire.
