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. The front is fastened custom-made oversized black ‘jigger’ buttons, flat two-hole buttons designed to support a more decorative button from behind a soft fabric.
