The Wardrobe By Me Heavy Shirt PDF Sewing Pattern is a classic menswear overshirt sewing pattern designed for a roomy, comfortable fit. Inspired by traditional workwear, it combines practical construction with timeless details, making it a versatile layer for everyday wardrobes.
The Heavy Shirt features a two-piece collar, button placket and functional chest pockets with large button flaps. Dropped shoulders give the shirt a relaxed feel, while the two-piece sleeves provide a comfortable fit around the arms. The sleeves are finished with cuffs, and the gently curved hem adds a polished finish.
Crisp topstitching highlights the seams and construction details, enhancing the workwear character of the finished garment. Choose hard-wearing woven fabrics such as flannel, corduroy, denim, twill or canvas for a traditional overshirt, or use wool as suggested by Wardrobe By Me.
The pattern is available in sizes 2XS–4XL. The sample shown is a size L, worn by a model who is 180 cm tall.
With a skill level of 2/4, this pattern is suitable for sewists with some experience. The project provides an opportunity to learn how to construct a two-piece sleeve, cuffs and banded collar, with detailed illustrated instructions accompanying each step. Wardrobe By Me also provides a YouTube sew-along video for additional guidance.
