19th Century Men's Undergarments

 

 

 

Shirt:

#1800M01

Cotton $45

Linen $55

Silk $60

Shirts become more fitted in the 1800’s and have a variety of collar, cuff and yoke styles depending on the year and region.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Corset:

#1800M02

Starts at $50

Many men wore corsets, and if you are portraying a dandy this garment is essential.  The underbust corset slightly reduces the waist creating a broader chest and curved hips. Lacing loosened throughout the century, and by 1900 most men had abandoned corsets.

 

 

Drawers / Long Underwear:

#1800MLU

$45

 

Men's drawers are semi-form-fitting, and are slightly shorter than the pants or breeches worn over them.  They can have fly front, drop front or drawstring waists.
