Grandfather shirt

For the Scottish version of a grandfather shirt, see Ghillie shirt.

A grandfather shirt or grandad shirt is a long-sleeved or short-sleeved flannel or brushed cotton collarless or band-collared shirt. In Ireland, the term "grandfather shirt" is typically applied to a collarless buttoned shirt. In Britain, a collarless shirt worn by the working class was sometimes known as a "union shirt". The shirts were traditionally plain white or white with coloured vertical stripes.
