It's apparently called a Grandfather shirt. I've never heard of it myself.
https://leevalleyireland.com/blogs/l...-grandad-shirtA grandfather shirt or grandad shirt is a long-sleeved flannel or brushed cotton collarless shirt. Traditional shirts are white with coloured vertical blue, navy or brown stripes. Over the years there have been a few variations of this style but the ‘collarless’ shirt design has remained the same.
Historically grandfather shirts were very popular in Ireland, particularly for working men in rural Ireland. When working in the fields in the Lee Valley in West Cork, the traditional farmer favoured this collarless shirt as it was warm. He had little use for neck ties while he was working the land, and the collarless grandfather shirt proved a comfortable alternative. This style of shirt was also worn by working-class men in northern England during the industrial era.
