This is my version of the Jakob shirt, which I made for my boyfriend. I made a few alterations; I reduced the collar as it was far too big and pointy. I also reduced the length of the cuffs as I thought they were too long in length. My boyfriend also didn’t want a pocket on the shirt, so I omitted that. This is only the second shirt I have ever made, so pretty pleased with the result. The fabric is a cotton called ‘Ho down checks’ – which I think works with the 70s look of the shirt.
