'Cofradia' shirt made of cotton.
Brown cotton is used for both the warp and weft, the warp being striped with fine white lines: 28 brown/2 white/2 brown/2 white/28 brown repeated across the web.
The shirt is collarless, with slightly tapered sleeves set about 5cm into the front panel. The side gussets reduce their width as they go over the shoulder producing a roll of fabric. There is a touch of colour in the yellow/red/mauve stripe at each cuff and at the bottom edges of the gusset.
