For the serious re-enactor, piratical performer, or anyone who wants a historically accurate looking fabric with heavy duty wash and wear appeal. The Pro Series line is US grown Pima Cotton that is then hand woven in Ecuador on virgin looms (no synthetics ever touch loom). The weave is thick and tactile and has a marvelous hand hewn look and feel. It will stand up to just about any wear you can dish out (aside from battle wounds). Pre-shrunk too. Built with room to spare, these run a full size large. I repeat, A FULL SIZE LARGE. This version laces all the way down the front, simple banded collar, gathered yoke for fullness in the body, full sleeve, button and lacing wrist
