Men's drawers, sometimes called underdrawers, were a part of 18th century men's clothing, although they were not universally worn. Historical research indicates that their use became more common during the latter part of the 18th century. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson are both documented as regularly wearing underdrawers, while drawers also appear in 1780s probate inventories of Blue Licks battle casualties and military records.
These 18th century men's drawers are reproduced in finely woven 100% linen and are designed to be worn beneath breeches and next to the skin. They feature cloth-covered buttons, period-style cloth ties, hand-finished buttonholes, and hand-felled interior seams. Each pair is finished to your measurements and specifications.
These are to be worn under the breeches and next to the skin so keep this in mind when considering sizing.
Each pair of these will be finished to your specifications, so please expect a wait of approximately 6-8 weeks for your personal garment to be completed.
