Hi All,
As a newbie, I'm hoping someone might be able to help. I'd like to make a man's shirt with a Nehru collar (different from mandarin, grandads collar etc). Does anyone have a pattern? The closest I've managed to find is an old simplicity pattern, 8209, but I can't find it in the size I need (neck 17).

Thanks for your reply and I may well have a go - but I'm not sure it's that easy as I think the tailoring is quite a bit of skill (or a good pattern) to get the collar to sit nicely. I've found a shirt sold by Shanghai Tang which gives a really good view of the collar - I could pay £296 (not!) for the shirt, but would much prefer to make it. My husband is British Asian and he wants to wear it to work (as opposed to the traditional shirt and tie combo).
