Men's Short Period Cotton Nightshirt with Decorated Collar
History and Usage of Period Nightwear
This masterful replica of historical nightwear draws inspiration from the fashion of the wealthy classes, originating predominantly from the 18th and early 19th centuries. In this era, gentlemen of high society and wealthy burghers placed great value on an elegant appearance even in the privacy of their bedrooms. Distinctive elements of this garment are therefore the exceptionally wide gathered sleeves finished with a ruffle, and the elegant V-neck collar with a decorative trim. For maximum comfort, the garment is tailored in a very loose fit. An indispensable part of the night gear back then was the nightcap (which is included in this set), protecting the head from the night cold in unheated noble manors. The garment is ideal for evening feasts at historical festivals, as a theatre costume, or as exceptionally comfortable home nightwear.

Cotton Clothing Care and Safety Guidelines
The one hundred percent cotton canvas is very pleasant against the body, absorbs sweat excellently, and allows the skin to breathe. To preserve the fabric's quality, we recommend you wash the shirt and cap gently in a washing machine at a temperature of 30 to 40 °C (86 to 104 °F) using a mild detergent. Dry the garment hanging freely, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading. Ironing is possible on a medium temperature setting intended for cotton. More details can be found in the cleaning and maintenance instructions. Safety warning: The loose fit and wide gathered sleeves present a high risk when dealing with fire. Never lean over a candle, fireplace, or campfire in this shirt!
Recommended Accessories
For an absolutely perfect 18th-century period impression, we highly recommend purchasing long knitted cotton knee socks (similar to those in the photographs) and historical leather slippers to accompany this nightwear, reliably protecting your feet from the cold of stone castle floors. A classic brass chamber candlestick will also perfectly complete the evening atmosphere by the bed.
