This linen hunting shirt was worn by Captain Abraham Duryea during the Battle of Long Island in August 1776. It is one of very few surviving examples of 18th-century hunting shirts which were similar to the smocks often worn by farmers and laborers to protect their clothing. In the early days of the Revolution, General Washington recommended that hunting shirts be substituted for difficult-to-obtain wool uniform coats. Units of riflemen often wore hunting shirts as well.
