The basic male garment was the shirt or the bottom shirt. The Russian men's shirts of the XVI — XVII centuries under the square underarm gussets, on each side of the belt triangular wedges. Shirts were sewn from linen and cotton fabrics, and silk. The sleeves have narrow brushes. Sleeve length is probably dependent on the purpose of the shirt. The gate was either absent (just round the neckline), or in the form of racks, round or square ("caret"), with basis in the form of leather or birch bark, with a height of 2.5-4 cm; fastened with a button. The presence of gates assumed the incision in the middle of the chest or on the left (blouse), with buttons or ties.

In folk costume shirt was outerwear, and in a suit nobility — the bottom. House maid nobles wore a shirt — it has always been silk.

Shirts different colors: mostly white, blue and red. Wore their trousers and girdled by a narrow belt. On my back and chest shirt sewn lining, called background.

Hi John,
I hope you are doing fine. Have you got any news to tell me? You asked me some question and I would like to answer them now.  You asked for my opinion about being independent of my parents.  I think one can hardly be independent when he or she is under 18.  We don't have necessary skills and knowledge to live separately from our parents.  Renting a room or a flat can also cost a lot and only our parents can pay for us.  What about you?  When do you plan to start living separately from your parents? As to leaving parents as soon I finish school, I think I could do  it.  If I enter a good university with good accomodation, living without my parents would be no problem. Though I think I would miss my home, especially during the first months.  Many Russian students who study abroad miss their homes in the beginning.  It is not easy to get used to another country and the language.  And it can take  a lot of time to understand traditions and customs of the new country.  Have you ever studied abroad?  Do you think you could live far from your home for a long time? OK, so much for today.  Write soon.
Best wishes,
Mike.
