Okay, I can sew some basic stuff and occasionally get a cape right after a few tries. I'm in need of a decent pattern for a male shirt with a collar. I've attempted to draw a few out and it's not happening. I was thinking about researching some 1/6 patterns and adapting it to 1/9. I've got a special project I'm working on that has been several years coming. All I need is a freakin shirt.

I need a mens shirt pattern
I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

Scott, try Theressa.
Her work is meticulous, & she could probably do a shirt for you more easily than you fussing with a pattern. Usually, she is open to you providing fabrics as well.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses. -
Any chance you could make a pattern by cutting off a jumpsuit and adding a little extra to the sleeves and front closure(since I'm assuming you won't be using stretchy material). The collar is basically a rectangle folded over - maybe you could trace Robin's. Don't the Doc Mego shirts suit what you need?
I tried to mod a Ken pattern once and the proportions are so different that it was more work than worthwhile for the results I got.Hey! Where's the waiter with the water for my daughter?
Check out my customs!

Thank you Rob!! I can alter it for a larger body and make the sleeves poofier. BTW, this shirt is going to be shiny yellow with the chest exposed. I think that gives away what I'm making..I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

I have decades of experience making full size (1:1) shirts without a pattern, so the first time I tried making a Mego-size jacket (Rocketeer), I just winged it on the fly, and it worked. (I also use patterns, but a shirt is just about the easiest article of clothing to make.)
I am concerned that the above linked pattern has opposing convex shoulder seams, as that is not how full-size shirt patterns are designed (and not how my succussful 1:9 scale jacket worked) -- that arm connection may not mesh well, but trial-and-error should win out.
This is more closely to the shirt pattern I would use, although for 1:9 scale I would omit the yoke piece and match the (longer) front to the (longer) back piece. Not the convex shoulder seam on the front/back pieces:

If your goal is "poofier sleeves," you may want to make each sleeve from two pieces, and widen (convex) the center seam; alternately, make each sleeve as a "Y" shape and hem from elbow to wrist to add more volume.Last edited by SentientApe; Sep 17, '14, 8:59 AM.Comment
