The narrow linen of original shifts has an amazingly tiny and perfect selvage - less than 1/8". When the seams are run by hand just inside that selvage, it's a thing of beauty and a joy forever. It's impossible to reproduce exactly unless someone these days is weaving such linen. If they exist, I want to know about them!
