Tender Co. 486 - Burro Shirt - Brown Hat Cotton Sheeting
Pickup available at Totem 529
Usually ready in 2-4 days
Traditional men's dress shirts are constructed with a double-thickness yoke across the
shoulders, which joins the back and front panels, trapping the seam inlays inside. This
sewing operation is quite complicated, and involves rolling up all the shirt panels inside the yoke until it is sewn, and pulled inside-out. A machinists' term for this rolled up inside-out shirt is a burrito.
The Burro Shirt is cut without side seams, and the right and left panels are joined at the
back with a double-thickness vertical panel, functioning as an oversized, rotated, traditional yoke. Fabric is cut sideways, and sewn in USA with 100% cotton thread. Shirts are fastened with custom-made black 'jigger' buttons, flat two-hole buttons designed to support a more decorative button from behind a soft fabric.
