These are absolutely CLASSIC autumnal English country shirts!

OFFERS ARE VERY WELCOME! TAKE BOTH SHIRTS TOGETHER FOR $40, shipped in CONUS!

All prices include shipping in CONUS, and International inquiries are welcome, with shipping at cost.


1) Size 17 Purdey tattersall.

Were my mother not to have been a woman, I would own a pair of Purdey side-by-side shotguns from my grandfather.... But, as it happens, she is, and so they went to one of her older brothers, dammit. So, the nearest that I've got to owning a Purdey is through this shirt.... which, of course, I never wore for fearing of marring it (although it has been laundered.) It's a lovely heavier-weight cotton tattersall in a classic English Country Check. Although it's slightly rumpled from storage, this is in excellent condition. It cost a small fortune new--did I mention it was from Purdey's?--and even well-used Purdey shirts fetch silly prices on eBay... But since I just want to find this a good home how about just $35 shipped in CONUS, or lower offer?




2) Sz 17 Cordings check shirt with French cuffs.

I have reluctantly to admit that this is now too big for me... and so it's here to ind a new home! This classic shirt from the utterly traditional English shop Cordings, of Picadilly, London (just across from Fortnum's) is in a wonderful versatile small check, and has French cuffs. It does have a small flaw that I only found when examining it this morning after collecting the eggs from my chickens, and prior to listing it--a couple of small holes near its hem. These are, obviously, utterly invisible when your shirt is tucked in. It's also rather rumpled from storage, and I haven't worn it for a couple of years owing to weight loss.

Given these flaws, though, how about an insanely cheap $15 CONUS, or offer?
