The women of the village of Nahuala make the clothing of their menfolk in the same way they make their own clothing. The striped fabric is usually hand-loomed on a backstrap loom, and the decorated pieces which make up the collar and cuffs are handmade. All are then cut and sewn into a western-style shirt, which is usually closed up the front with commercial. This shirt, however, is made from commercial fabric. The collar is decorated with a hand-stitched design.

Measurements: maximum waist total approx. 25 inches; length of sleeves from cuff to cuff across the shoulders is 31 inches; length from top of shoulders to bottom edge is 15 inches.

Condition: lightly used, a few spots or light soil and a few loose threads possible.
