Straight shirts gain their sophistication only through a perfect fit and fine details. This volume of five basic pattern designs offers versatile variations. Author David Page Coffin explains, richly illustrated, how to create dress shirts, sport shirts, knit shirts, flannel shirts, and shirt jackets tailored to individual needs and body types. Special attention is given to collar design, but cuffs, plackets, pockets, patterns, and many other details that make a shirt unique are also expertly addressed.
