Civil War Uniform Shirts - When to Use a One and Two Piece Body!
So, you want to make your own Civil War shirt.You have so many decisions to make - one or two-piece body, type of front, buttons, material, colors, collars! Wow. A common pattern is a one-piece body with gussets under the sleeves with or without a collar using the same pattern. You can vary the widths of the cuffs to copy original photographs. There is no standard pattern - even issued shirts were made off civilian patterns of the day. Thevariation of shirts is mind-boggling. You will see everything. The most common shirt has a placket front with about 3 buttons. But you will see shirts that button all the way down. There is everything from A to Z. If you see a shirt in an original photo and you want to copy it, do it. The red, white, blue on this shirt was a copy. Patriotic shirts were a common theme. All topstitching should be by hand. If you don't have enough material to do a 1-piece body, you can do 2 and piece them together using a shoulder strap. It depended on how much material they had. You can only tell if it is a 2-piece body if you turn the shirt inside out. Yes, the 2-piece body was common during Civil Wartimes. There were many civilian shirts during the war and they varied greatly because many of them were sent from home. All my shirts have glass buttons on them, but that is no rule either.

Welcome to the Mind Revolution: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Living Between the Points What does it mean to live "between the points?" What are the points? Are they science and religion? Are they conservative and liberal? Are they men and women? Are they childhood and old age? Are they intellectual and physical? Are they quantum physics and cosmology? Are they Freud and Jung? Are they the sacred and the profane? Are they nature and nurture? Are they light beer and stout?To live between the points is to understand the nature of the human mind-where it begins and where it ends.
