Your teacher James MacAuslan (Budd of Piccadilly, London) has planned a thorough content schedule which will teach you how to draft and make a traditional shirt from start to finish. Our shirt drafting course focuses on teaching all key skills required to construct a traditional British bespoke shirt pattern. All drafting methods are taught in precisely the same way that James performs them in his working role. Ultimately, meaning this is reliable industry standard training in trade approved technical skill.

You will make two full shirts, with the option to make more (*), plus you will be taught a variety of different cuff and collar details so that you can truly get the best out of you time studying with James @ The LAB. The cloth you use will be 100% Cotton, you will make one white shirt and one coloured shirt, again to add some variety to your learning.
