Thank you again Santee . Like a lot of Americans I'm going through a hard time right now , but your videos ALWAYS cheer me up. Thank you for sharing this with all of us , please don't ever stop.
Me too. I never see open front shirts in old photographs before 1900. John Wayne wore pull overs and sometimes open front in old West films. Some tv shows and movies are careful and others just get it done.
Thanks for the great episode, Santee. Shirts are not boring because they are common. We wear them still and wore them then. Thanks for the info about Pistoleros fundraiser.
We got a photo into our shop, looks about 1870/80, it a large family group, lots of half grown boys, on a porch. The interesting thing is the boys shirts, most of them half the half row of buttons, several with mismatched buttons, but a few have laces instead. The ones with laces have a little overlapping placard, it gives the impression their mom was embarrassed to have run out of buttons. I don't know how accurate that is, but it makes a very charming picture! We so often see people in their Sunday best, I love seeing what they would have looked like around the house.
I imagine that is 100% how pioneer life was. It's not like mom had time to sit down and carve buttons out of wood or bone. I would love to see that photo sometime.
I have two pairs of pullover shirts in white and blue stripes and the 2nd shirt is a navy blue Rough Rider pullover shirt. And I always enjoy watching your great history video reviews on the old Western Frontier.
We watched as a family... I was going to say, " you ought to wear the "Seinfield shirt" during a show on clothes. But you would'nt be able to film it, no one could stop laughing at you. 😛
Thanks for the new video. I've always been fascinated by western shirts in the movies and looked for them in the store's. Some shirts never looked out of fashion. Show definitely is interesting.
Shirt evolution goes all the way back to linen undertunics in ancient times, although they didn't change much from the late medieval period until about the 1850s.
Been waiting on this... For over 2 hours done and got yard mowed, truck is checked, and now Arizona Ghostriders and go fix the tire on the car busy day...
Fantastic job my friend. They need to bring back that button loop on the bottom of the shirt to keep it tucked in that's actually a pretty fantastic idea.
My Birthday is on the 20th. If I lived closer. I would love to celebrate at the event. I hope it will be a huge success! And thanks for doing the shirts episode, Santee and Dirty Dan!
Your drinking from the Arizona Ghostriders mug at the beginning reminded me that our buddy Squib Load sent me one of the mugs. Inside the mug was an Arizona Ghostriders sticker that he said was from you. I just realized that I never thanked you for it. Thanks for the sticker, Santee, and for the interesting video on shirts!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Yes, he is. Back in November, him and another friend of ours stopped here on their way to DC to pick me up for the 2nd Amendment rally. If they hadn't, I wouldn't have been able to go. We better not let him know this though, it might go to his head!
Good one, Santee, but detachable collars were often attached using collar studs, as I used to wear them in the 1960s. The other benefit of detachable collars is that you could starch them to make them stiff, and borax them to make them shiny, without making the whole shirt uncomfortable. I used to have 7 collars to one shirt, while the other set were in the laundry. Putting a tie on meant putting the tie in the collar before bending it around the neck and doing up the front stud but, even so, the fold would crack over time. In those cases, poor people would sew a long, narrow patch over the crack, while the better off bought a new collar!
@@ArizonaGhostriders + :) I totally use to rock custom-made tops with the big cuffs etc., id totally wear so many of these., hearing the progression etc of such is wickedly cool :)
Very nice and informative video. I‘ve been asking myself for a long time about the truth behind the shirt varieties. I guess I should also not trust every reenactor on that matter. Thanks so much for shading light onto that topic!
As a CW reenactor, one VERY nice thing about the blousy sleeves is that help keep you cooler... less sweaty fabric clinging to you. I personally prefer a thin flannel to muslin or cotton as it tends to wick sweat off me and has less of that clammy feel. YMMV Buttoning the shirt to the trousers seems like it would be more trouble than it's worth. Trousers were meant to fit loosely, being held up with galluses or suspenders. Yes, some dandy fellahs had more fitted trousers, but that was less common.
Here's some information you might find useful. A linen shirt will keep your skin about five degrees cooler than a shirt that is identical in every way except being made of cotton. Also, I've only ever seen that tab on fancy dress shirts.
Yeah, my blousy shirts are linen and cotton. Love 'em and wear em in the summer. The plackard with the button was not rare, but it was reserved for dress shirts (real formal stuff).
Well, now I finally know why the fellas in so many of those old-timey photos look like they just got done tucking their shirts into the front of their pants: the special buttonhole. By gosh, I learned something here again!
I too like the full blousy sleeve look. In fact I wear those type of shirts a lot and at 77 I’m no longer am in reenacting. Truly enjoy your work here, keep it up. I buy cheap shirts at The J Peterman Company website (highly over priced on most items), click on men’s shirts and carefully look for the blousy sleeve ones. Sometimes if you catch them on sale I bought them anywhere fro $18 - $48. This is not a commercial.
@@bigbill2444 I just check and there are two. One is the Otavalo Mountain Shirt (I have one and don't particularly like it), the other is the J Peterman Shirt (I have several of these and like them). Both at $24 now. That will change because they are usually $48
In regards to the blue flannel bib front shirt, in the 19th century, flannel usually refers to the wool version of that fabric, so that shirt is most likely wool.
great vid, thanks Cheese!! Really looking forward to the live stream.. hoping those guys get back on their feet soon !! We went out last night and had dinner (inside ! which is a big deal here in Cal) at our favorite restaurant, and it was busy.... I think people are ready for entertainment :-)
Fun fact for you sir, the bib front shirt was originally invented in the 1850s as firefighter gear. It allowed them to fight fires without wearing a vest for more freedom of movement while hiding the button placard so they weren't considered naked.
I was told once that the shirts with full buttons where used by Politicians and not available Nationwide because people didn't buy a lot of clothing back then. Politicians needed the shirts in case they had a heart attack or something. Politicians, Allegedly not much different than now felt they are more important than anyone else in the country.
Those shirts really weren't around in the West until the turn of the century. I agree, politicians probably do feel more important. Notice they are getting the vaccine in the first rounds?
had no idea that the shirts were diverse yet simple as a performer, you have a connection with those detachable cuffs and collars: the phrase “off the cuff” referred to writing a speech with little notice on your detachable cuffs. the cloth ones gave way to cheap paper ones that you changed daily, which the speech was written on. the only ones who might have used those back in the day were the wealthy in the cities but they slowly made their way west by the 1890s into the turn of the century
@@ArizonaGhostriders context is key: why he did it was to show he was speaking without any preparation at all, but to have done that means it had to have been common for years before then he was a vaudeville performer before movies, it was a move that wasn’t known to outsiders until he did it but it had to have been done a lot by others as nobody said it was something new or never done
Hey Santee, have you ever watched german western movies such as 'Winnetou' and 'The treasure in the Silver Lake' and other adaptions from books by Karl May? Maybe you could do a video about western movies from other countries sometimes? I'm from Dresden and Karl May was from Radebeul which is nearby. There's still a huge fanbase based here and also some living history groups not at least because they built a museum where he once lived. Greetings from Germany and thanks for sharing your passion for the old west. You're videos are one of my weekly highlights!
I always have a hard time choosing shirts. I always default to a slim fit white shirt with all my vests. Figure I can't go wrong that way... That is....until they get worn out and dingy. Maybe I'll switch to grey shirts...
I have a few videos on my channel about detachable collars. Even cut a real one from the 1800's open and showed how they were made. Also showed the process of starching them.
Question were shirt pockets common on the frontier? My wife is making me a shirt from a Cowboy Action pattern supplier, and it includes a pocket, but I thought they weren't used.
Hey Santee! I always see Australian Westerns like Man from Snowy River and other movies (Quigley Down Under). Could you do one one ranching and outlaws in the Outback?
Hey @Santee could you do a video on belts (not the ones used for holding a pistol but the ones that go through the belt loops) and what types of buckles were used?
Santee, I think I asked this a bit ago but my memory fails me often. Mind if you can do a video one day the Walker Revolver and or Dragoon? Thanks a bunch.
Hey Santee, I was wondering if you could do a video on duel wielding in the Wild West, was it a effective way to fight? And we’re their any gunslingers who preferred it or were seen duel wielding?
Pretty good that a vid about shirts can be made interesting..I think the battle scene in "The Patriot" was roughly based on the battle of "Cowpens" when the old frontiersman Daniel Morgan took the day from the British..Don't think the redcoats had a mascot like that.
What was the most common shirt fabric in the hotter areas of the west like texas and the southwest? I've always thought linen would make most sense because it's breathable but I could be wrong
Be careful saying "We can do that" around Rita or you might find yourself either in the Seinfeld shirt, or signed up for ballroom dance lessons and doing the Waltz (although that might help with re-enactments.)
Did the type of shirts that had half way buttons have 2 metal pieces that are attachable to the pants so it doesn't fall? Because I've seen people in the old west movies use that and sometimes they would wear suspenders 🤔
I have the button flap on a shirt but much like your model, it's 5 inches away from top of pants. Would you show yourself wearing shirt connected to pants?
Hey Santee, maybe you could do Dressing the Part: The Mountain Man?
Yup

A lot of those shirts used studs down the front instead of buttons as well, just like a proper black tie shirt still does today.
I showed the stud twice in the video for the front. They could be attached in the back with buttons or studs back in the 1800s.

The movie for a few dollars more : spaghetti western i noticed the main villain had them on
I have the button flap on a shirt but much like your model, it's 5 inches away from top of pants. Would you show yourself wearing shirt connected to pants?
Although most of my old west pants are high wasted, I've never tried this....but I could.
I must know-- how long is your crotch- opening on these highwaisted pants?
(Seems the pullover shirts have shorter openings than the pullon pants...)
Great video Santee
Glad you enjoyed it, Led. I'm still jeaous of your PitBoss!
