American shirtwaist
Figure 1.--A reader writes, " I have blown up a detail of the older boy's shirt. I think this enlargement gives a hint of the buttons on this shirt. There may be only three or four, so the shirt is put on over the head like a pullover, rather than like a jacket."

There may be only three or four, so the shirt is put on over the head like a pullover, rather than like a jacket. Here in Britain we would callmit a Rugby style short because it inly buttoned half way down."
