I know it’s Friday, and you’re probably thinking about happy hour already. Hell, maybe you’re sipping on a cocktail and reading this on your iPhone as I type it. Whatever your situation, don’t let that brain relax too much. Take a look at these extremely technical shirt diagrams from Alexander West.

Seize sur Vingt is now taking pre-orders for Spring/Summer shirts. They’re allowing you to choose the styling (the fabrics) you want, without having to place a custom order. This is no doubt better for them but it also is nice if you want to make sure that you get a shirt with a certain pattern. They only make limited runs (30-60 usually).
I have a solid white shirt from them and I wear it all of the time. And to add to my collection, I’m thinking about ordering one of their spring shirts—I like the Torre Vado (100% Linen) and Rue de Vaugirard fabrics. I’m currently going back and forth with them to try to get them to make my shirt with a rounded collar (a.k.a. penny collar) similar to the one in the image below. Does anyone else have any favorite patterns from the Spring/Summer collection or style ideas?
Note: They’re shutting off pre-orders February 28th.
You can place your orders through the webstore or by emailing them at nyc@16sur20.com.
As I’ve said before, I love reading about the process and construction of things. Here is a good article describing a little bit about the brand Sifr’s production process. And if you’re still interested after reading that; here’s another.
If you’re looking for a new casual button-down shirt, check out what Velour has to offer. They’re made of organic fabrics and on sale at the moment. The one in the photo above is my favorite.
