Introducing the Tony men's shirt, produced in collaboration with Tony Rea, finalist from Sewing Bee series 9, and sponsored by Brother. The Tony is a super simple, loose fitting shirt, with an open collar and front facings. It comes with optional breast pockets and sleeve cuffs, to add interest and a more relaxed feel. An ideal pattern for anyone wanting to get into men's sewing, this pattern is an advanced beginner. Make it from cotton for an easy sew and be adventurous with your print like Tony! You can also make it from linen and linen blends, cotton lawn and other light to medium weight wovens, making it perfect for both hot holiday shirts, and layering in colder weather.
Sizing:
The Tony shirt comes in sizes 36" to 56" chest.
