Hunt permisos/permits
from the Presidio de Santa Fe were
specific on details for an expedición with
a mayordomo to set
out, a business venture with full crew. During late autumn, early snow blizzard
conditions might be encountered. This wool shirt would provide protection. You
could sleep in it. A good shirt was also a worthy trade item for obtaining
hunting permission with plains tribes of the Llano Estacado.
CONSTRUCTION: It took a mile of
handspun yarn to weave and stitch the cloth into a shirt. The work shirt
has minimal details: basic rectangular pieces, a lace-up tab collar and 3/4
length sleeve. Tassles and fringes are all part of the structure, not added
embellishments.
