If you are concerned about heat, remember that skeleton suits were often made out of nankeen which is a cotton, but linen, silk and wool also show up. There is a set that has long sleeves that button on. A shirt with neck frill would be worn under a suit. I have not found a shirt yet, all I have seen are too early or late. RL Shep books have 3 patterns going up to the 1830's
