Nice! It looks like the first shirt is a "natural" and the second is a white one?

If so I like the natural linen. (They are linen right? It looks that way) I might have to make me one of those in the near future. "Shudder" Neck gussets, I had the worst time trying to figure those out. Did you pre-wash the fabric before sewing them up? So far looking good.

yeah, the first is "natural", but a heavier weight than the white one. all linen...

prewashed it all.....

boy, am i glad i wasn't the only one screwing up the neck gussets... i was trading emails with someone when they jogged a thought in my head, and i stopped my wife who was literally about to sew on the collar, and we put the gussets where they were supposed to be...

seems so simple now that we figured it all out---- but, not with out help !!

Looks great!

I would not worry with buttons at the cuff.

An authentic closure would be to put one button hole on each side (like a dress shirt has for cuff links)

and then have a linen tape go through the holes to tie close it.

Same at the neck.

I have seen one period "button" closure at the cuff... but it is really more like cuff links as their are holes in the cuff (like described above), closed by two diamond stud buttons (that were two separate pieces tied together.)

Where did you get the pattern.

They look great.

:lol:

got the pattern from gof's website ( gentlemen of fortune ) http://www.esotericcreations.com/index.php...rticle=12&mn=ht

see if this link works.... we first made the shirt out of cheaper muslin and made a few size adjustments....

after we finally figured out the neck gussets, we got the pattern down... now, we just need to make more :rolleyes:
