This pattern has been removed. On careful examination of the available evidence and in consultation with others, I have found no credible evidence that the Irish or Scottish Gaels gathered or pleated the sleeves of their shirts along the top of the arm. Therefore, a pattern that does this is not appropriate to recommend for historical recreation. Hopefully I will be provided with a more historically plausible pattern to post in the future.
Leine is the Gaelic word for "shirt". It doesn't actually refer to any particular kind – it can and is (and was) used for any sort of shirt. Leine is pronounced, very roughly, \LANE-yeh\, where \LANE\ is like the English word "lane" and the \y\ is like the one in the English word "yes".
