Christine Masese skillfully crafted a beautiful, striped shirt for Jürgen, weaving in colors that resonated with his heart, ready just in time for his special day. What's your wish?
A request by Jürgen from Köln, Germany
Shirt ready for me until the wedding (25.01.2024). I love black and yellow. If there was red in it, it would be the German flag. I’d like it striped, which is common in Kenya. I would leave the design to your taste. Collar size 44. stocky body😉
The Journey of Creating Custom Black, Red, Yellow Striped Shirt
Negotiation & Planning
Artisan's Proposals
Loose fit based on collar size.
The shirt can easily be worn again so the design is not too complex.
Can stick to solid plus print or use print for the entire shirt.
I like option 2: stand-up collar. But front and back printed. But not shoulder honten. And also the cuffs printed. Preferably on a black base.
Colors black yellow (alemannia aachen) and some red, then it would be the German colors. (Automatic translation)
I've attached the available fabrics.
Basic color black. Front and back printed, but not back shoulder.
I would like the 4th pattern: WA0040
If it should be possible, a 2nd shirt black with stand-up collar size 44 in the same style but 3rd pattern: WA0046.
So a total of 2 shirts.

Will start with the first shirt and should we have some time, get the second ready.
