Peter S. Hyde Shirt
available for pre-order
 
The original shirt is currently located in the collection of the Museum of the Confederacy and is identified to Pvt. Peter S. Hyde of the 12th Virginian Cavalry and courier for General Rosser. A note written inside of the shirt on the back lining reads:

"1863. This shirt was worn by Peter Hyde in the Civil War. Made by Tom Buck in Camp out of a bedspread of some Dutchman's bed, Pa. Yankees shot many a fine white spread off beds in Virginia."
We are now pleased to offer two versions of this great shirt.  An exact reproduction based on our examinations of the original and a modified version that is more budget friendly. Both styles of the Hyde shirt are made from a specially woven cotton fabric, feature a pocket, and have 5 white glass buttons for closures. Our reproduction  Hyde shirts are currently available in four size ranges: 38-40, 42-44, 46-48, & 50.  If there is enough interest we will offer a smaller size 36 as well.

The Exact Reproduction Hyde Shirt is entirely handsewn and includes the piecings on the sleeves as well as the partial linings across the back and the shoulder fronts. These will only be offered for sale as they are completed but if you wish to be placed on the waiting list for a specific size, please let us know.

The Modified Version Hyde Shirt is machine sewn but with hand finshing as in our other shirts (the buttonholes and closing the collar and cuffs). This style has a one piece sleeve in the same shape as the orginial but with out the piecing, and no partial linings. We plan to eventually carry all sizes of this version in stock, but place your order now to get in on the first run. Only a limited number of this version of the shirt will be available for Christmas delivery so don't hesitate to place your order!
