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 buttons. This shirt is made from such hand-woven fabric. The collar, pockets and zipper closure are decorated with a hand-woven design.

Measurements: waist width approx. 13 inches, elastic waist expandable to about 18 inches wide; length of sleeves from cuff to cuff across the shoulders is 42 inches; length from top of shoulders to bottom edge is 23 inches.

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