🧵 Historical Background
In colonial America, men’s fashion reflected both status and function. The foundational outfit included a long-sleeved white shirt, typically worn beneath waistcoats and jackets. Shirts were often adorned with ruffled or lace trim at the collar and cuffs, adding a formal touch. Below the waist, knee breeches were fastened just below the knee and worn with stockings and buckle shoes—an iconic silhouette of the Revolutionary era.
From the battlefields of the American Revolution to the halls of independence, these garments were worn by the Founding Fathers who shaped a nation.

It was too much costume quality for what I wanted. It is not Etsy'S issue, they did great. I can use parts of the order later.
