I've just done the button holes and am about to put the final buttons on and then it's done. ~2 weeks on and off. Thanks for sharing your stuff. It's helped me immensely. I'll post a piccy at some point (once I wash the chalk marks out!!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-50878128837696770082015-01-18T11:35:48.676-05:002015-01-18T11:35:48.676-05:00Your shirt is so elegant.

It is also nice that it is not 'form fitting' with some ease for comfort. It looks like it will be focal point for your wardrobe.

French cuffs or a gathered back would have completely spoiled the BB vibe, so well captured by the collar and hems on you pattern. When I went off to prep school in the 60s, my first weekend-off field trip was to Brooks in Boston for an oxford cloth button down shirt almost exactly like yours. And that same shirt was the eventual inspiration for my interest in making my own shirts. You've brought it all back to me with all your splendid choices and workmanship here; thanks!
