De: the lacing and the ruffles of this pattern is not pre1600s. Here are men's "Italian" extant shirts http://realmofvenus.renaissanceitaly.net/workbox/extmencam.htm <<<< Likewise, Simplicity 3758 is probably only somewhat close to the 1800s and not pre-1600.>>>> De: This is correct. This would be something close to what I have come to know as "the poet's shirt". Margo Anderson's Elizabethan gentleman's garments http://www.margospatterns.com/Products/ElizGntlmnWrdb.html Scroll down to "Two styles of shirts" and "click" to get an idea of shirt.
