Yes, yes, I really do hand stitch these 2 shirts together, all through the cuffs and the collar and the lining. This has both the original 2 collars integrated. And western snaps! I love the western touches, the yoke, etc. I have embroidered onto my custom label that this is the 79th shirt I've made, #79 in the 'series', made in 2019. And the 'key' is WS, which means it is a 'western snap.' I've made a few dozen of these doubled-up shirts, first for myself, and now for you! Buy one, I’ll make more! But these are one of a kind, each ‘design’ doesn’t come in different sizes. I buy shirts individually on their own merit at the goodwill, at home I have many to choose from, and the serendipity happens when I find two shirts that compliment each other and they line up nicely to make one warm, unique, upcycled shirt!
Why do this doubled shirt thing? Because I’m a skinny-ish guy brought up in both the chilly midwestern tundra and the fog of the Bay Area, for years I’ve been lining my pants and stitching two shirts together - to make one - for warmth.
I can’t help it, I’m a maker and necessity was the mother of this invention.
This started as an Extra Small and with the doubling up, it can become a bit more snug, so don't expect this to be loose on any woman smaller than a women's size 2!
If you roll up the sleeves, I promise that the stitching around the cuffs will be nice to look at! I’m proud of my work. The attention to detail/stitches per inch may look OCD, but I just want to do the best job I can.
Care: I put this shirt through the washer and dryer normally, it actually helps the shirts settle in together to do it this way. But if you want to hand wash and line dry, that might be better now that the 2 shirts are synced together.
You can be confident that this one-of-a-kind wearable artpiece has been made with care, by me and just me, giving new life to discarded clothes. You aren’t going to run into anyone with the same shirt, that is for sure!!
