Only one of these was ever made from a unique 2 metre length of printed fabric.
Classic style shirt with buttoning collar, front pocket, slightly shaped hem and long sleeves.
The shirt has long sleeves with cuffs and buttons on the plackets. At the back there are two small pleats on the back at the yoke.
It has a lovely feel as both fabrics are matched in weight and quality. The collar holds its shape well but is not stiff, so very comfortable to wear.
The shirt is beautifully hand tailored with french seams and top stitching.

It was sourced directly from the art centre when I was working with Babbarra Designs on a business planning consultancy at the time. It was such a privilege to visit the centre and work with the ladies.
The shirt was made in Cambodia with our Master Tailor partners Sreymom at O’Russey Market in Phnom Penh. They have made many beautiful men’s shirts for us. If you are interested in having a shirt tailored to your measurements from some of our fabric, let us know.
