I picked up a older copy of Muzzleloader magazine today because there were a couple article I liked. There was a nice article by Rex Allen Norman: The Humble Shirt. Mr. Norman discussed the style, cut, and color of shirts worn by mountain men ca. 1825 - 1840. I was wondering how much men's shirts had changed between 1840 and 1861? At least to me, it appeared much of what Norman had to say would apply to shirts at the start of the Civil War.
1. Discussed color of the cloth used to make shirts and the style and color of prints. Would the style and color of the prints have changed significantly?
2. How much would have the tailoring techniques had changed?
