After purchasing you'll find your PDF pattern download and any workshops in your account page. Simply log in (or create an account using the same email address used to purchase) and click the account button in the top right corner. The most up to date versions of the patterns will always be available from within your account. If any changes are made to the pattern or instructions you’ll receive an email notification.
Opening your files:
Some older Window computers have problems opening zip files. If this is the case, you can use the free programme 7-Zip to open your files.
How to print your pattern:
You have two options for printing out your pattern.
1. You can get it printed in A0 at a printing shop or sewing pattern company. Search for "sewing pattern printing company" to find a company that does this in your region.
2. Or you can print it yourself on a home printer in A4 or US Letter format and then tile the pages together using tape.
Using PDF layers:
All of our patterns come with PDF layers so you can select the sizes you want to view and print. To do this you’ll need a PDF viewer such as Adobe Acrobat Reader (this is free to download).

Customer Reviews
Made these. I made the largest size but I'm a big guy so had to add about 2 inches per panel. Turned out awesome. The fit is super comfortable. The workshop made it easy. The inside of these looks super professional. I'm gonna make a bunch now.
To summarise, you'll not find a better pattern for someone who's starting out making mens clothing; who wants to make something they'd actually want to wear and understands sewing fundamentals like pressing, stitches and terminology.
I started out sewing with the intent of making my own clothing to buy as little fast fashion items as possible. Unfortunately I quickly found that doing this from scratch with no prior experience is very difficult, especially when it comes to making mens clothing. Collars being my particular Achilles heel.
This pattern has the clearest instructions, and actually matches up (I was shocked to find how common it is for dressmaking patterns to have mistakes) to what you need to be doing. There are videos and photos included for the more advanced bits, and it all actually makes sense.
It's definitely not for absolute beginners, as the pattern itself states. You will need to know the sewing terminology, but that doesn't take long at all to get the hang of. Taking my time with this I'm able to work with very little frustration compared to working from patterns the big companies or even other independent sellers provide. If you're hesitating thinking the price is high for a PDF as I was, you're getting what you pay for. The clarity and time taken in these instructions is far better than anything you'll get from literally any other seller.
I'm still working on these and having a blast, and if the finished product is anything like the toile I made then the fit is better than anything I can find off the rail (having a big butt as a man is a blessing and a curse...). I'll send pictures in when it's done, but yeah. Buy it!
