Vintage 1975 Men’s Handmade Romanian Red Embroidered Pleated Shirt White Cotton L Button Down

Very handsome, amazing handmade and hand dyed traditional men's Romanian shirt.

Three crisp pleats on each side of the front of the shirt.

Between the pleats and the embroidery is a line of very fine eyelet work on each side.

Hand embroidered work on the collar and down the front of the shirt approx. 1 1/2" in deep purple and red thread.

The cuff of each sleeve has the same eyelet and embroidery motif.

The front closure consists of 7 buttons.

Length: 26 1/2″
Chest: 46″
Sleeve: 26″
Sleeve width: 3″ with a 2 button closure. The thread loops are handmade (no button holes on shirt).
Collar: 3"

This shirt is truly a work of art.

The eyelet work is superb, completely sewn by hand.

On the back there is a tiny bit of discoloration.

Fantastic, intricate embroidery and craftsmanship.

We spent a month in Romania the summer of 1975.

It was the first year Romania was opened to the West for tourism.
