Introducing our (NEW) Jac Shirt Pattern!


Introducing our latest Tessuti Pattern - The Jac Shirt. This relaxed pattern is suitable for all ages and body shapes. The collared shirt features great design detailing including angled side splits, a wide and asymmetrical hem and three quarter length sleeves with slits. Perfect as a transseasonal item, suitable fabrics for this shirt include lightweight linen, silk crepe de chine, soft drapey cotton and cotton/silk blends. Not suitable for stiff fabrics.


I made the sample above in our 100% Linen Water Grid Como, an ideal light weight linen for this A-line shaped shirt with lovely wide hem detailing on the body and sleeves.


other suitable fine linens for this shirt:
Blue Scratches
Beach Stripe Como
Red Check Linen
White Check
Santorini Como
Hanky Mandarin 
or 
any in the Giolica range

Here is my lovely mum (below) already wearing her Jac Shirt, made up in a fine textured Italian 100% Cotton 'Silva Check' (available at Tessuti Chatswood only)

    I was in Tessuti yesterday. As I turned around to leave I almost bumped into her mum who was wearing this shirt. I had no idea that it was to feature here today.

    Let me tell you I was so taken aback with this beautiful top. I particularly fell in love with the fabric. It has as you can see a lovely weave---as good as you will ever see. The red was slightly dark, a very rich tone. And the red and white on the black white grey background was quite luscious. Classic but so modern at the same time.

    As I stopped myself bumping into her, I glanced at the cut of the shirt to see what style had been used with such a big pattern. This pattern and this fabric were, as they say, made in heaven.

    This shirt in this fabric is what I would call an unstructured jacket and could be worn for quite a dressy occasion. But would look equally as good with black denim.

    Yours,
    Shopper from the days when Tessuti started out in a tiny shop along the arcade from the current Chatswood shop.
