Titleshirt
DescriptionConcentration camp shirt. Blue and white striped cloth. Has three button-holes, buttoned cuffs and no collar. This is a male garment as the buttons are on the right, closing on the left. The shirt is faded, long with no hem, made of cotton, a summer weight fabric. It would have been worn with trousers. The button sleeves can be rolled up. Though the shirt is long, it once was longer and has been cut, as noted by the uneven and tattered ends. It was probably too long for the wearer so he cut the hem.
