Over a T-shirt or on its own for casual wear and travel.

Key Design Features

Collar: Shirt collar without a stand, interfaced and topstitched; the under collar is set into the neckline and the upper collar is turned under and stitched over the seam inside.

Sleeves: Short raglan sleeves cut in two halves (front and back) with a seam over the shoulder; raglan seams topstitched close to the seam.

Front: Two fronts joined by a centre front seam; a zipper set under the edges of the neckline opening so the teeth are hidden.

Pockets: One patch pocket on the left front, topstitched along the top edge.

Back: One piece cut on the fold.

Finishing: Slits at the lower side seams and at the outer sleeve seams; the hem allowances are folded back to face the slit edges, then turned inside and topstitched.
