Inspiration...Button Down Shirt

 The button down (up) shirt is a classic.  This one has additiona detail:

This is the YSL Pocket Button-Down Shirt by Saint Laurent.  Price tag: $1350.00.  Details: signature embroidered chest pocket, point collar, button front, long sleeves, french cuffs, relaxed fit, shirttail hem, cotton/linen blend.

The main difference with this shirt is the french cuffs.  How to create is all over youtube.  Just look it up.  I instinct is to just double the cuff.  The pattern is my go-to button-down shirt pattern:

This is Liesl & Co Classic Shirt.  This is by far my favorite button down shirt pattern. Once fitting you can make it over and over.  This pattern does not have french cuffs but there are multitude of videos on youtube.  My best guess would be to double the depth of the cuff so you could fold it back.  The actual collar looks a bit different.  

The fabric is probably the key here.  A simple google search will toss up a ton of options.  Here is a couple of interesting I found:

1.  Fabric Warehouse Direct - Mansa 4.1oz 100% cotton woven linen.  Yeah, it is really 100% cotton with a slubby 1x1 weave which resembles linen.  I am very intrigued by this fabric.

2. I See Fabric - Linen + Cotton Blend Woven.  This is an interesting fabric and it is a bit pricey but I bet it would work up beautifully.

Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful.

Happy Stitching!
