Sorry, this item has sold.

The Rochester Grandad collarless shirt made in about 1932
Pure Linen shirt made in Belfast by O’Donalds.
The shirt was left for laundering (but never collected) at a North Yorkshire wash house which was retired two years ago.
It’s well worn, with some pin holes and some buttons may be required but overall it’s in a good vintage condition.
The shirt is collarless, the front is fashioned with a Marcella front, as are the turn back cuffs.
The shirt has a fold under lower front plackets and the back is considerably longer than the front, making this a wonderful unisex garment, either to wear as intended or for a lady to team with jeans, slacks, shorts a fabulous alternative to the usual 'boyfriend' shirt or Tunic Shirt.
Neck; 15”
Chest; 44”
Length to the front; 32”
Length to the back; 36"
Shoulder to shoulder; 16"
Sleeve length; 30” with 4” fold back double cuffs - which are worn but not threadbare
The shirt is beautifully clean, crisp and white.
The fabric has been shown in natural light for clarity and is completely untouched digitally.

Please drop me a line, if you have any questions.
