Liviu Shirt — Men's Button-Up Sewing Pattern | Sizes M–XXL | PDF Instant Download | Slow Fashion Menswear
Make the shirt that lasts. The Liviu Shirt is a considered menswear sewing pattern — designed with the kind of thoughtful details you usually only find in luxury boutiques, built to be worn for years, not seasons.
Slow fashion starts with what you make. The Liviu Shirt gives you a modern classic: a structured, beautifully-draping button-up with three elevated details that transform a wardrobe staple into something genuinely your own.
✦ THREE DETAILS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
→ Chest pocket tab — functional and refined. The kind of finishing touch that signals care.
→ Sleeve tab attachment — wear it rolled up or tailored down. One shirt, two looks.
→ Triangular side seam gusset — borrowed from heritage shirtmaking. Adds shape, ease of movement, and perfect drape whether tucked in or worn out.
This is how slow fashion dresses: considered, intentional, built to last.

✦ FABRIC GUIDE
Best in structured woven fabrics with minimal stretch - essential for the collar, placket, and tabbed details.

- Oxford or chambray - Textured, hardwearing, details pop
