Fashionable men's shirt for the American Civil War times costume. In 1850s - 1860s men's shirts with pleating were worn under the waistcoat and only the 'decorated' pleated part was seen in the frockcoat neckline. However, several good cotton or batiste shirts were an obvious part of the XIX century gentlemen's wardrobe. The shirts of this type haven't changed till 1910s.
