Man&#8217;s Linen Shirt, American. High collar, ruffles down front opening, fullness from gathered shoulders and sleeves for unrestricted movement. Beautifully created and monogrammed by Elizabeth Wild Hitchings for her husband, Benjamin Hitchings, a sea captain. Wives or servants regularly hand stitched shirts from 1800s-1840s, before sewing machines, but handiwork rarely recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From The Creator: This shirt was created, from the linen fiber to the finished garment, by the donor&#8217;s great-grandmother, Elizabeth Wild Hitchings, for her husband Benjamin Hitchings, a sea captain, in 1816. It was common practice for a wife or servant to hand stitch family members&#8217; shirts prior to the mid-19th century, but rarely was such handiwork recorded, making this case rare and intriguing. In addition, its elegant stitching makes it a perfect example of the familial care taken in sewing prior to the common possession and use of the sewing machine. via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/155804?searchField=All&amp;amp&amp;sortBy=relevance&amp;amp&amp;deptids=8&amp;amp&amp;when=A.D.+1800-1900&amp;amp&amp;what=Shirts&amp;amp&amp;ft=%2A&amp;amp&amp;offset=0&amp;amp&amp;rpp=80&amp;amp&amp;pos=28\">Metropolitan Museum, N.Y.C., U.S.A. metmuseum.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/books2read.com\/SuziLoveFashionMen1800-1819\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1816-1817-ca.-Mans-Linen-Shirt-American.-Designed-By-Elizabeth-Wild-Hitchings-for-her-husband-a-sea-captain.-.jpeg\" alt=\"1816-1817 ca.

I now live in a sunny part of Australia after spending many years in developing countries in the South Pacific. My greatest loves are traveling, anywhere and everywhere, meeting crazy characters, and visiting the Australian outback. I hope my books bring history alive and you have fun adventuring with my roguish heroes and feisty heroines.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.suzilove.com","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=1795828726","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/suzi_love_oz\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/suziloveauthor","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com.au\/suziloveoz","https:\/\/x.com\/SuziLove","https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/blog\/suziloveuniverse"],"url":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/?author=1"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28325"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28325\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37297,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28325\/revisions\/37297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
