Shirt
Not on view
A shirt for the hero of Tom Jones, this linen origami of pleated shirting suggests the attention afforded to a gentleman's linens in the eighteenth century. The flare, or self-cravat, suggests the peacock that such a man was. This piece is a real rarity; there is one similar shirt in the collection of Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia.
