Mens Troop Shirt

This military inspired shirt is the perfect option when you’re wanting to create a little handmade for the men in your life, whether it’s your grown children, boyfriend, partner, husband, brother, dad or an amazing neighbour.

The pattern boasts three fit options to fit all body types - ‘slim fit’ (has waist shaping on the back of the shirt), ‘regular fit’ (no shaping) or ‘easy fit’ (has a pleat on the back for a roomy fit).

The design has flexible detailing options such as long sleeve, with an optional roll-up feature (using sleeve adjuster tab), or simple short sleeves.

Other variations include an optional pocket with or without flap and shoulder straps to add a little extra fashion finesse.

With step-by-step instructions, this is a pattern that can be recreated endlessly for any intermediate sewer, and is a must-have kit addition for the fashion conscious men in your life.

The pattern works best with light to medium weight woven fabrics and includes sizes XS-XXXL.
