The Classic Shirt is everything that the name suggests. A classic shirt construction with an understated, modern cut. This style is fitted on the shoulders and features neat sleeves which gives it an elegant feel. The style flares very slightly from the underarm to give some room around the bust and the hem has a deep V-scoop to give easy access to trouser pockets.

When sewing this piece, you will use all the traditional shirt-making techniques to create a timeless, high-quality wardrobe staple. To finish the hem, you can choose a double-fold hem or flat binding.
