made this shirt for my hubby as his birthday present last December. this was my first attempt at menswear, and i’m glad it turned out okay!
i first saw this shirt from H&M’s collaboration with Comme des Garcons, and decided that i’d like my hubby to have it. unfortunately, and naturally, it costed quite a lot, so i figured, why not make it myself..
luckily, BurdaStyle has the jakob pattern, and from that i just altered the front part to make it look like the original shirt. it took me 3 days to finish this, from printing the pattern to sewing the last button! (i know it’s slow, i’m a beginner here :p)
my husband loves it a lot, and i can’t feel happier! i deliberately chose a stripey pattern so that the diagonal button detail would show more. and i chose this colour(s) because i was also making a dress for myself that has these same colours (will upload the pictures soon!).
sorry i had no better pictures of it yet, we took these when we were hurrying to see a ballet performance :D
Material Notes
i have no idea..polyester, i think.

Very cool and original (never mind the ‘Comme des Garcons for H&M’, inspiration has to come from somewhere and with the stripes you’ve really added your own twist to the design). And did you say you were a beginner, and therefore slow? Don’t underestimate yourself. Even though the pattern alteration itself probably wasn’t that difficult, you did give yourself a lot of extra work with the front of the shirt. And it looks like you really paid attention to the placement of the stripes. Well done!
