Looking for a slim-fitting button-down there’s thread theory’sFairfield (available as a PDF that we can print). Grainline’sArcheris a classic relaxed-fit button up shirt with a small scale collar. Cashmerette’sHarrisonis designed for those who are tired of bust gapping. We have become big fans of Wardrobe By Me patterns and recommend the Jensen shirt for a relaxed fit.
A fantastic way to learn the in’s and out’s of tailoring and get a lovely shirt out of the exercise. Set a sleeve, make a continuous placket and get some practice making buttonholes. Plus lengthen and/or shorten to FIT YOU! That’s the point of sewing, isn’t it?
