Product code: Linen history bounding shirt 16th-18th century popular

This listing is for a machine sewn linen shirt appropriate for the 16th through 18th centuries. (Or you could be like me and just wear them daily).

It features underarm and neck gussets, shoulder reinforcement strips, gathering at the neck, sleevehead, and cuffs, hand sewn buttonholes, and is patterned with the historic squares and rectangles technique. All thread visible on the outside of the garnet is either silk or linen.

To order please provide the following information in a comment to seller at checkout:
Measurements-- chest (or largest torso measurement), shoulder to shoulder, neck, and wrist cuffs
Special requests such as a different color linen or a particularly voluminous fit


Price explanation:
Fabric for these shirts can cost anywhere from $35-$55 depending on what I currently have in stock, what is available to me locally, and if I can combine shipping costs if I need to order fabric ($45 is pretty standard).
Buttons cost a total of one to five dollars depending on local availability.
Shipping costs about $10
It takes about 10 hours of focused work to popular make one shirt. Even with mostly machine stitching, there is a ton of hand work required. This is reduced from the 14 hours they used to take.

When I listed these shirts as $100, the customer ended up paying a total of about $120, but I received only $100 from etsy. Yes, that included the shipping costs. So I would spend up to $70 to produce and ship one shirt and pay myself only $30 for ten hours of work. I'm sorry to need to raise my price, but $3 an hour doesn't make much sense.
