TENDER TYPE 486 BURRO SHIRT COTTON DIAMONDBONE RINSED
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.
Cotton Diamondbone
A herringbone fabric is woven with alternating columns of left and right hand twills, forming a repeated V pattern which looks a little like a fish skeleton. Cotton Diamondbone is a new design based on this, but changing vertically as well as horizontally to create repeated <> shapes. The warp and weft yarns are ecru cotton, and a slightly lower tension in weaving creates a soft, thick fabric which is particularly comfortable to wear next to the skin.
