Men and boys' shirt waists were essentially shirts/blouses without collars. Unfortunately we do not yet have any vintage shirt waists archived. We believe that they had tails like modern shirts, but are not entirely positive about this. Most available discussions of shirtwaists discuss garments for girls and women. There are many detailed images of female' shirtwaists, but we can find very little about the mail garment. The shirt waist is impossible to assess from the photographic record. We do know that they came without collars. We believe that most shirt waists button up the front, but some did not. We are not sure how common the shirt waists that did not button up the front were.
