Windmills and water mills are truly the wonders of an
earlier era, the wooden technology of yesteryear.
To us, they may be graceful and charming relics. To the
colonists, however, they were a vital necessity. Colonial
craftsmen constructed them to mill grain, saw wood, pump
water, and do various other jobs. Furthermore, the mill was
the gathering place for the villagers. While they waited for
their grain to be milled, the villagers exchanged news and
gossip and stories. Millers were well respected not only for
their mill s output but also for their own weather forecasts,
knowledge of engines and machines, and, of course,
up-to-date news.
Long Island is an ideal place for catching the steady wind
from the ocean and bays: 125 miles long, narrow only
20 miles across at its widest, and relatively flat. Thus, many
windmills were built here and still exist here, particularly
at the island s east end. As a matter of fact, the south fork
of eastern Long Island contains the greatest number of
surviving windmills in the United States. Before 1700,
Long Island also had many water mills, some of them
powered by the tide."

Comfort& Quality
Size: 20" Neck 35"-36" Sleeve, Color: White
Excellent shirt. Ordered for a Risky Business bar crawl and the fabric was so much nicer than the other two options I ordered. It is packaged so nice with pins and feels luxurious (great if you’re giving it as a gift.) It comes wrinkled from being folded in the packaging, but i steamed it and then it did not wrinkle while driving or sitting throughout the night. It’s nice and light. Only downfall is there is no pleat in the back.

Nice shirt.
Size: 17.5" Neck 35"-36" Sleeve, Color: White
It fit perfectly and looked very nice. However, it was much thinner than I thought. And when you wash it, get ready to iron it. This is not a permanent press shirt. It is not wrinkle resistant. I would not buy it again.

Casual Crew Neck Summer Shirt
Color: Denim Blue, Size: XX-Large
Ordered the dark blue. It fits great and looks wonderful on. Very comfortable! Good value, and feels well made. The fabric is just right – not too thin, or thick. I wore it with a navy blazer and beige pants to an outdoor event (shade and sun) and was totally comfortable.
