A Tzotzil Maya boy’s long-sleeve shirt constructed from commercially produced striped cotton fabric, featuring narrow black and brown vertical stripes on a cream background. The shirt is designed in a traditional cut with straight, loose-fitting body panels and long, slightly gathered sleeves with wide cuffs. The neckline is finished with a standing collar and a short central opening with a placket, reflecting older traditional styles once produced by hand. Machine stitching is evident throughout the seams, hems, and collar construction. The cuffs are designed with double-fold hems and side slits for ease of wear.Made/Created
