Hi, does anyone know where I can get some knit undershirts and drawers like the ones in the picture?

Thanks,Jim

You might try River Junction Trading Co. Worth a try anyway.

Cheers!

Sorry to pop in my head, but I think these are generally known as henley undershirts and I know we get them in the theatre still, so they're out there to be found. If you find a source for these, or period women's knit underwear, I'd love to know

I'm going down to a Lee Kung Man outlet on Saturday. They were mentioned in The Guardian today as being very traditional; their mill has been knitting in Guangzhou from the early 1900s. I'll report back. Cicada brand, indeed!

How much are they?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

I'm not sure; I can't find any prices online. But I'm told by someone in the lab that about $100 per shirt. I'll find out on Saturday.
