I haven't been able to get to your photo, but I sure like the look of the pattern envelope. I think you did the right thing reducing the size of the collar. Thanks for pointing this pattern out; it's very hard to find men's shirt patterns that don't have a dropped shoulder.

Very nice, and thanks for the great review. Gee, I would never have guessed they were related. ;o I agree about men's patterns. A good basic pattern in different fabrics can really work. Now I just have to get that basic pattern - I'm looking at this & the Kwik Sew shirt 2777.

Very stylish men indeed! I've checked out this pattern too. I have a few dropped shoulder short sleeve casual summer shirt patterns to try this year, and I've thought about this one too. Nice to see it made up!

Great shirt!! I don't subscribe to Burda but I'd like to get my hands on this issue for this pattern. My brothers would love it. And your models are smashing!

Kim, no need to worry about subscribing -- this is one of the Burda _envelope_ patterns sold through sewing stores. I think it debuted about two years ago, but I can't remember exactly. If you've got a Joann's store nearby, you can find it there. Or, if you prefer to order online, most of the sewing supply websites that are sponsers of PR will have it for sale too. Judy, thanks so much for the review! I was wondering about the tightness factor myself, because it looks "Tom Ford tight" from Burda's picture! Glad to hear that the actual pattern allows more room. Your gents look very sharp! The fit is just right -- enough to show off their fit bodies, but not so fitted as to create awkward creases at the placket (as so many other "fitted" shirts do). That was a wise idea to eliminate the pocket! Strange proportion and placement -- I wish Burda would go back to scaling their pockets proportionally like they did in the 90s, and not just tacking them on every-which-way and every-which-size like they seem to favor doing now.

I have made the KS 2777 many times and find the armscye way too big compared to RTW. I have to cut maine down to match the ones we have bought. I am wondering if the Burda has a narrower armscye? Except for that, I love the KS pattern, especially the collar, which is perfect. Anyone else had this problem?

Well, I'm looking at the men's shirt patterns because I don't like the armscye on KS2777, which I own. edube's comments indicate (s)he had the same issue. So this one is looking more attractive!

The shirts look great and the guys look great in them (what does, by the way, SO stand for?). This review came just in time: I saw this pattern in the latest catalogue and was wondering whether to buy it, or just stick to the Kwik-Sew pattern I use all the time (and just omit the sleeves for the sleeveless version), and was wavering... but this has decided me. I will get it... or will I? MAYBE!
