Long shirt with round flat “granddad” collar, forward buttoned placket, and straight sides. Hem extends below the seat for coverage; side slits aid stride. Sleeves are set for reach, with cuffs that secure without excess thickness. The collar reduces bulk at the neck while permitting air flow. Worn over light trousers in warm interiors or alone for rest. In French Guiana the extra length added protection while remaining breathable, reducing exposure to insects and brush.
Forest and river systems in French Guiana support diverse fauna. Venomous snakes such as bushmaster and fer-de-lance inhabit undergrowth. Large tarantulas, including the Goliath birdeater, and Amazonian black scorpions are present. Jaguars range along forest margins; black caimans occupy rivers. Along estuaries, bull and tiger sharks occur. Clothing combined coverage with breathability to reduce bites and stings while coping with heat and humidity.

CREATOR
CREATOR
EUGÈNE LE MOULT (31 December 1882, Quimper – 26 January 1965, Paris) was as famous for hunting butterflies as he was for his custom-made wardrobe. He had these clothes tailored for himself to wear on the ocean-liner to South America, and when hunting and sleeping in the jungle.
