Description
Forged from soft, natural tan cotton, the Boys’ Edison Style Shirt echoes the everyday wear of lads during the late Victorian and early Edwardian days. The fabric’s muted tone and breathable weave were common among working youths and apprentices, suited to the rigors of daily toil and play alike. This shirt bears a button-down front and flared cuffs,practical features born from the need for ease of movement without sacrificing a neat appearance. Such details served young newsboys, colonial youths, and fledgling baseball players well. Its comfortable fit accommodates growing bodies and pairs naturally with various vintage outfits, whether a young golfer’s casual garb or the sturdy dress of a tradesman’s apprentice.
Fun fact: In the late 19th century, shirts like the Edison were often worn under waistcoats or suspenders, and the flared cuffs could be turned back or buttoned up depending on the activity,whether it was play, work, or school.
