love the color, bothered by the serging

This is overall a very fine shirt. The style is very nice indeed. It will be better for a person who has less sensitive skin, not because of the wool, but because of the seams, which have been sewed on a serger, and my sensitivities suggest with thread which may contain or be polyester. Now, two things on this. Since overlock sewing machines date back to the 1880s, it is conceivable that "period correct" garments could be made on them -- but I have not seen any originals from the first quarter of the 20th that are not single-seam. I recognize that to be within a reasonable price range, a serger (overlock sewing machine) may be a necessary economy. For me personally this becomes a problem (as also with the US1916 poplin shirt and the Colonial army and police tropical shorts) when most of the interior seams are worked on a serger: the thread becomes an irritant, particularly in hot, sweaty conditions. That said, it's a fine garment for those who either are not using the piece for museum demos or who can point to originals made overlock or both, or for those who are not as delicate wilting lilies as myself.
Amazing quality.
