Medieval men's shirts[edit]

Weren't medieval men's shirts or shirts in general called blouses? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.122.208.51 (talk • contribs) 10:23, February 7, 2007‎

Image[edit]

The image is not a blouse, it's a women's shirt. A blouse is gathered in at the waist, or tucked into the skirt or trousers giving this impression. Simply being worn by a woman does not make it a blouse! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.42.69.78 (talk • contribs) 19:24, July 14, 2007‎

For contrast against the opposing article for men, the dress shirt, the image should be laid flat on the table to show these angles sewn tighter and looser around a women's body. The men's version is just a box shape with 90 degree angle at the arms. 74.98.106.208 20:19, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Choli[edit]

I don't think a choli belongs in this article--it is distinctly different. A blouse is a loose garment that can be tucked into a skirt and allowed to "blouse out" over the waistband. A choli is fitted and usually cropped and therefore cannot be tucked into a skirt, with which it isn't even traditionally worn. A choli and sari are just inherently diffent from a blouse and skirt. If anything, maybe your could put them together under "Women's Separates." A discussion of the choli belongs in an article called "choli" and not here. If I don't hear from anyone, I'll come back an delete this section.OwenSaunders (talk) 22:32, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. This article probably needs to be split up. It discusses button-down/dress shirts but not necessarily just blouses. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cathw38 (talk • contribs) 03:16, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User:Earths sweel has merged Choli back into this article without comment. (The only comment is on the Choli page, that it's "completely unreferenced"). But given the clear difference between the two items, the strangeness of a Blouse article that's half about Cholis, and per this exchange, I have reverted the merge. Cheers.

I brought it back to it's own page after another IP tryed to split it and was blocked.213.81.116.136 (talk) 19:14, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

correct definition and failure correction is necessary[edit]

I am the author of the german article, where some of the sentences were nearly literally overtaken by someone. But there are a lot of mistakes in this translation (it wasn't me!). And some links are translateted also literally and won't work so. This shouldn'd be. I hope someone (a native english speaker) can fix all this.

Reverse buttons and male military fatigues[edit]

I am not sure what this passager is trying to say. From my own personal experience, US Army fatigues had "normal" buttons, i.e., buttons on the right. Perhaps what the suthor was trying to say is that in the military, fatigues worn by females had "male" style of buttons. But perhaps in other countries, buttoning of male fatigues is different?Wschart (talk) 11:33, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK. IP User:92.20.205.247 02:51, 18 March 2018

Military uniforms must be, well, uniform, like every thing else military for ease of supply and maintenance; so, not surprising that fatigue blouses would be one uniform style all the same pattern. The term "blouse" for military tops has ranged from dress to work uniforms. Military uniform "blouses" may include battle dress uniform tops like the Eisenhower Jacket. Military fatigue (work uniform) shirts were very loose fitting and were labelled fatigue blouses. Ours (USAF late 1960s) were a rough canvas like material or dark green olive drab denim-like. Fatigues were also daily uniform in military tech schools and were often altered by tailors to fit tightly like shirts (tightly tailored "blouses" on work detail defeated the purpose of blousing (air flow and freedom of movement) so we had tailored blouses for school and as-issued for work). --Naaman Brown (talk) 14:57, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category: Tops Clothing[edit]

The sub-category "Shirts" is in the category "Tops (clothing)" so shouldn't this article be added to this category? Vorbee (talk) 11:09, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bubic bangs???[edit]

"At the beginning of the 1960s bubic bangs came back": what are "bubic bangs"? Wiktionary does not know the word "bubic" at all, and I can think of no applicable meaning for the word "bangs". Imerologul Valah (talk) 00:27, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's a mistake. I tracked it down to this edit. Probably remove, unless someone can explain it. W. P. Uzer (talk) 14:29, 21 May 2022 (UTC) (I have removed it. W. P. Uzer (talk) 06:31, 8 June 2022 (UTC))[reply]
