Perhaps I mentioned my fascination with shirts lately. Here’s my latest. It is a pattern from the book “Book of Mens Shirts” by Ryuichiro Shimazaki, altered for me. The fabric is a silk sheer-and-opaque stripe with dots printed on. I think it looks a bit like a pajama top, but nice enough that it would not be mistaken for actual pajamas. I hope.

All of the facings (collar, collar band, cuffs, yoke, front placket) are silk organza
cuff-detail
The buttons are a bit sparkly.

Thanks! Like most of my fabrics, this is from London Textiles in Cherry Hill NJ.
Beautifully elegant!
What a beautiful shirt! It doesn’t look like pajamas at all.
The simple shirt pattern really lets that wonderful fabric take center stage. Just beautiful!
I don’t see PJ’s anywhere. That is one beautiful shirt!
Beautiful workmanship and stunning fabric!
Nice job,

Gorgeous shirt. The workmanship and pattern matching is masterful. How long did you spend on it?
Thanks! It took me almost a week. I had used the pattern before, so it was already traced off.
