Present Joys

“We thank the Lord of heaven and earth
who hath preserved us from our birth
for present joys, for blessings past,
and for the hope of heaven at last.”

Another overshirt, from heavy 100%-cotton flannel from Jo-Ann’s! I cut this along the same lines as my corduroy one, only a little longer and with less-extreme collar points.

Not a lot to say here: simple, continuous sleeve plackets made with selvage-cut pieces of fabric; just one breast pocket, because pattern matching is a huge pain in the butt with this stuff. Speaking of pattern matching, though: you can’t see it from this photo, but the plaid of the yoke, collar stand, and collar all match almost exactly. I’m proud of that. And I love the way the plaid sits on the collar points. This is a really fun shirt.
