This "Common shirt" was specifically designed for use by for most seventeenth century re-enactment societies: they are made of firm calico, and are strong enough for fighting in, and have the absolute minimum of visible machine stitching.

It is made in two versions: either made from 100% cotton calico, or 100% linen. They are un-yoked with a gathered neck, long sleeves that are "plain-set" into the shoulder, ie not gathered: they have an underam gusset for ease of movement, and the sleeves terminate in a simple cuff with tie tapes. They are collarless, and have a simple tie-tape closure to the neck opening.

Inside the shirts, all seams are double sewn and fully bound to prevent fraying, and for extra strength, and there is absolutely no overlocking!
