Black men's pirate shirt with lace-up neck and puff sleeves

The black historical character shirt for men is a cotton shirt with a lace-up neckline, a wide flat collar and wide puff sleeves with cuffs. You pull it over your head, as it does not have a button fastening. Men wear it with a pirate, medieval or vampire look at a theme party, carnival or Halloween.

How do you recognize this black men's shirt?

• The neckline fastens with a lace through metal rings, so you decide how far the V opens.
• The wide, pointed collar falls loosely over the shoulders and gives the shirt its historical silhouette.
• The sleeves are puffed at the shoulder and end in a fitted cuff with a band.
• The shirt is made in solid black, without print or appliqué.
• The fabric consists of 95% cotton and 5% polyester, a woven quality that you wash by hand.
• There is a choice of sizes XS, S/M, L/XL and XXL, so larger sizes are also available.

The lace-up shirt through the centuries

Shirts with a lace instead of buttons were the standard for centuries: buttons were expensive, a lace cord was not. Because of this, this model appears in almost every historical costume look, from pirate and musketeer to medieval blacksmith or gothic count. The wide collar and the wide sleeve reinforce that image, because modern shirts are cut tight and narrow. In black, the shirt easily shifts to the dark side of the spectrum, while a white one looks more romantic or knightly.

This is how you wear the shirt on a party night

For a pirate look, you tuck the shirt halfway into dark trousers, put a wide belt over it and put on a triangular hat. If you are going for a vampire or gothic look, let the shirt hang loose under a burgundy vest and combine it with a silver-colored chain. For a parade or a long party night, the wide cut is comfortable, because the sleeves do not constrict when moving. Wear sturdy boots with it, then the whole thing is immediately complete.
