Vintage Romanian Traditional Men's Shirt (Ie) from Banat – Handcrafted with Silk Embroidery

This is a vintage traditional Romanian men's shirt, or ie, handcrafted in the Banat region. Its stunning white silk embroidery is beautifully arranged across the chest, creating an impressive design. The fabric is made from handwoven cotton, a testament to traditional craftsmanship.

This folk shirt is designed for a man with a size M-L, or it can be worn by a woman as a dress (size L-XL for women). However, it's important to carefully check the neck circumference, sleeve length, and shoulder width as it was crafted for someone of medium height. The measurements are as follows:

Neck circumference: 33 cm (13 inches)

Shoulders: 46 cm (18 inches)

Shoulder to armpit: 22 cm (8.7 inches)

Sleeve length: 53 cm (21 inches) with slightly turned cuffs, as shown in the pictures

Shoulder plus sleeve length: 67 cm (26.4 inches)

Chest circumference (underarms): 138 cm (54.3 inches)

Waist circumference: 150 cm (59 inches)

Total length: 109 cm (43 inches)

The shirt is in good condition, with only minor signs of wear expected for a handmade folk garment of this age. This Banat shirt is estimated to be at least 40 to 50 years old, possibly older. It is a fantastic piece of Romanian folk art, showcasing the traditional clothing style of Transylvania.
