A button-up shirt with all of the classic details and a modern, moderately slim fit.  This design features a slim collar with collar stand, an optional chest pocket, flat felled seams and a yoke.  The button band is drafted onto the shirt front to make matching plaids and stripes simple.  The hem is curved so that this shirt can be worn tucked in or loose.   Choose between a center back pleat or create a more fitted look with long shaped darts.

Fairfield shirt by thread theory comes in sizes XS-4XL. It includes regular sizing for slim to average figures and a separate set of pieces for larger figures to accommodate a rounded stomach.  Please see the size chart for more info.

The class will be making a short sleeve button up version.
