Sam – Basic Men’s Shirt

Looking for a simple and comfortable men's shirt pattern? “Sam” is a basic T-shirt for men with a relaxed fit and hip-length design.

The pattern includes four sleeve lengths – short, 3/4, 7/8, and long – so you can sew a version for every season. You can also choose between a high neckline or a deeper scoop neck, depending on your preference.

“Sam” is designed for jersey or lightweight knit fabrics like ribbed jersey or fine knit. A chest pocket is included as an optional detail, and the pattern features an alternative front piece for men with a rounder belly.

All measurements in the pattern are in centimeters. The English version also includes inches. Letter format is only included in the English download.
