WORKERS Open Collar Shirt, Ecru Linen

The ultimate summer shirt. Open collar. The pattern is designed to be worn with an open collar. Looking at the collar, there is no stand collar like a button-down. The way the collar is attached is also unique; it is sewn into the body. On the way to the center back, a small cut is made inside the collar, in an unseen area, and the seam allowance is reversed. This looks easy but is surprisingly difficult. The M size has a width of 60 cm. It is quite loose. However, the shoulders are not dropped too much. The shoulders look neat, but the body is comfortably loose. For the back, the sample has a center tuck, but the mass production will be changed to a side tuck. After all, the side tuck suits this shape better. There are still some things you can't know until you try them. The material is 5.5 oz linen. In the past, I have made samples with a thinner linen, but it ended up clinging to the body and feeling hot. It is because of the thickness of the 5.5 oz yarn and fabric that you can feel the bouncy texture of linen the most. The fabric stays away from the body and feels cool. This garment has a particularly strong shrink-resistant finish, so it will hardly shrink with normal washing and air drying. The buttons are made of impact-resistant resin. They are less likely to break even after washing, yet have a shell-like sheen. In the summer, you can wash and dry it normally without using a laundry net. Easy care is a priority. The product will be delivered in NW (Natural Winter) and unwashed. Avoid using a dryer; wash and sun dry as usual. The back tucks will be changed from center to side/left and right in mass production. The dimensions will be the same as the sample, simply because we thought side tucks would suit the open collar better.
