Other shirts besides Jacobite style.

Actually the "Jacobite style" was NOT worn.

Something like this was, though, and you can get it in several different fabrics:

I have to put in a plug for these:

My period shirts were starting to get pretty ratty, so I ordered two of these shirts. They arrived quickly, and are just great! 100% linen, lots of hand-stitching, she'll make them extra long if you want (great for wearing with kilts). Highly recommended!

Oh!! Those are nice!! I'll second that, and the Jas Townsend ones Woodsheal linked to. I have one of the Townsend ones myself, and I absolutely love it. Here's my Christmas picture this year with me wearing the Townsend one:

Nighthawk, I'm building a leather sporran. Is yours held by it's own strap, or hanging from your belt? I'm very interested in hanging mine from the kilt belt.

I made a set of hangers so I can suspend my sporrans from my belt. I'm a bigger guy and the more normal way of hanging a sporran doesn't work well for me.

Unless I'm missing something, the OP was asking about 'historic' shirts 'rather than modern', to be worn in place of the incorrect 'Jacobite' shirts. In my mind, then, he was asking about 18th C. shirts...!

Actually Woodsheal, since I've been exploring this kilt thing, and have been so covered up with misinformation that I didn't really know what shirt was considered proper to wear with a kilt. I think Matt put the subject in perspective, that the "correct" shirt depends on what period I find myself dressing for.

However, I wish to thank all for the names of several suppliers of period shirts, which greatly expands my horizons.
