When I saw Burdastyle’s version of this shirt, I knew I had to make one for my husb. And he’s all about it. The day after I finished it, he pulled it out to wear to work. He was nearly out the door before I realized he had it on, but I managed to take a few photos.

WOW!! Well done! I´ve just finished my first men shirt, it´s a Negroni but I don´t know yet if it will be fit well… I love your version, is it easy to change the collar? I love this kind of collar!

Aw, I’ve been wanting to try the Negroni. I’ve seen so many great versions. I do remember my first men’s shirt being tricky. The collar is actually just the collar stand included in this pattern. From what I can tell from the Colette site, the Negroni pattern doesn’t include a collar stand. Although, some simple bias facing might give the same effect.
