I think this shirt looks very nice on your husband. I have never considered making a shirt for my husband, but reading your review made the process seem perhaps a little more inviting. My question is did your husband cooperate with the many fittings and tinkering around with fit? That is the part I am having trouble envisioning in my head. My guy is not so patient with that kind of stuff. Perhaps if I stood him in front of the TV on Sunday while I did my thing. That might just work! I admire your perserverance to get it just right. Any spouse should be proud to have such a gift as a custom made shirt.

Nice shirt, Lorna, doesn't look like a first try. I use that sleeve placket too. Your husband obviously isn't exactly any one size, but I agree with the idea of starting with a Medium. I think the yoke would be closer, and it's easy to enlarge the back.

MickeyFan, he actually was very helpful. His words were "You mean I actually gt something made from you, too?" He was feeling left out as I sew for myself and for our kids! Last year's fleece pullovers were such a hit that he wants more! And he was really supportive of the fitting process (even the pinning ones!) and errors (see the shirt thread! :-( for details ...

Lorna, this looks really good. How nice that he was so cooperative and appreciative. I think my SO feels a little left out too.

A really great looking shirt. I am in the process of making my DH a shirt. I am using a Burda pattern and i am making alterations to make it like his RTW one that he loves so much. Good luck with the next one.
