Leine (roughly pronounced LANE-yeh) is the Gaelic word for "shirt". It doesn't
refer to any particular kind ... it is used for any sort of shirt.
The leine was (and is) commonly worn in Ireland and Scotland by both sexes. It is a very full, very long shirt (all sizes are 44" long from the shoulder seam) with full cut sleeve. This style was common with the worker and warrior as the sleeves did not get in the way nor show the affluence of the longer sleeves of the Royal Leine seen below. The sleeves have a cord which runs from the shoulder to the wrist. Sleeve length can be adjusted by pulling up the sleeve and tying off the cord.
Machine wash with like colors in cold or warm water and line dry. Suitable for
men or women.

The leine was (and is) commonly worn in Ireland and Scotland by both sexes. It is a very full, very long shirt (all sizes are 44" long from the shoulder seam) with big billowy sleeves. The sleeves have a cord which runs from the shoulder to the wrist. Sleeve length can be adjusted by pulling up the sleeve and tying off the cord. These Leines were patterned to represent the leine shown in the picture of the "Irish Chieftains" circa 1500's in a museum in Oxford, England
