A heavy cotton canvas shirt to be able to hold so many grommets all the way from the banded collar down the sleeves to the cuffs.  The same design is used for the chest.  Then the sleeves are held together by lacings.  This has not been preshrunk and has lots of detail so please consider gentle cold water and hang dry.  These are not built for tall pirates already, and care in laundering will preserve as much sleeve length as possible.  Very strong fabric has a nice historic feel and worth the extra care. Black, Natural, or Canvas White.
