The Zander Oversize Shirt is a relaxed men\u2019s button-up designed with an easy, contemporary silhouette that works equally well as a classic casual shirt, overshirt, or lightweight jacket. With its dropped shoulders, roomy fit and practical chest pockets, Zander has a modern workwear-inspired look that is easy to style throughout the year.<\/p>\n
Make it in a lighter shirting fabric for an everyday button-up, choose a more substantial cotton or linen for a casual overshirt, or use a medium-weight fabric to create an easy transitional layer for spring and autumn. Wear it buttoned on its own or open over a T-shirt with jeans for a relaxed streetwear look.<\/p>\n
The simple silhouette gives plenty of room for movement while the collar, cuffs, pockets and yoke add enough structure to keep the finished garment polished.<\/p>\n
The choice of fabric can completely change the character of Zander.<\/p>\n
In a lightweight cotton, linen or chambray, it becomes an easy everyday shirt. In cotton twill, canvas, heavier linen or corduroy, it works beautifully as a shirt jacket or overshirt worn open over a T-shirt or sweatshirt.<\/p>\n
This makes Zander particularly useful for transitional weather, when you want an extra layer without the weight or construction of a fully lined jacket.<\/p>\n
This pattern is designed for woven fabrics without stretch or with minimal stretch.<\/p>\n
For a lighter shirt, consider cotton shirting, poplin, Oxford cloth, chambray, linen, linen\/cotton blends or lightweight twill.<\/p>\n
For an overshirt or lightweight jacket, try medium-weight cotton twill, cotton canvas, brushed cotton, heavier linen, lightweight denim, corduroy, wool blends or other medium-weight woven fabrics with enough body to hold the oversized silhouette.<\/p>\n
For your first version, a stable medium-weight cotton or cotton-linen fabric is particularly easy to sew and press.<\/p>\n
Zander uses standard shirt-making techniques including a collar and collar stand, front button placket, patch pockets with flaps, back yoke, sleeves and buttoned cuffs.<\/p>\n
A confident beginner who has already sewn a few woven garments can use this pattern as an introduction to traditional shirt construction. More experienced sewists can easily adapt the pattern into different shirt and overshirt variations.<\/p>\n
The pattern is intentionally drafted with an oversized fit and dropped shoulder, so please refer to the included body and finished-garment measurement charts when choosing your size.<\/p>\n
If you prefer a less oversized appearance, you may wish to compare the finished garment measurements with a shirt you already own before selecting your size.<\/p>\n
This is a digital PDF sewing pattern. No physical product will be shipped.<\/p>\n
The pattern package includes print-at-home and large-format options for convenient printing:<\/p>\n
Detailed sewing instructions and pattern information are included with your download.<\/p>\n
Keep Zander clean and minimalist in solid linen or cotton, give it a utility feel in canvas or twill, make a classic denim overshirt, or experiment with checks, stripes and textured fabrics.<\/p>\n
Paired with a simple T-shirt and jeans, it creates an effortless casual layer that can move easily between everyday wear, workwear-inspired styling and relaxed streetwear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
