CHAPS Shirt Up-Cycle to Patriot Shirt – Medium Men's
This patriotic upcycled shirt takes a classic CHAPS men's shirt and transforms it into something bold, fun, and versatile, perfect for both men and women. With a thoughtful blend of fabrics and creative design elements, this shirt is an eye-catching piece of wearable art.
✨ Design Highlights:
✔ Base shirt is a CHAPS men's shirt (Size 15-15.5, 32/33), providing a solid, classic foundation for the transformation
✔ Neckline lowered at the center front, moving away from the typical high classic collar, offering a more modern, comfortable fit
✔ Windowpane white/blue check fabric added to the left front, with cuffs placed on top of the original cuffs, and angled inserts on the right front and back yokes
✔ White/blue striped shirt incorporated into the right center front, left yoke, and left cuff, adding dynamic visual interest
✔ Red striped shirt accents on 3/4 of the collar and as finishing touches on the yoke and cuffs, creating a cohesive patriotic look
✔ Hand saddle-stitching with transparent red buttons to unify the red accents and tie the design together
A truly custom, one-of-a-kind piece, this shirt radiates patriotic spirit and offers an updated, stylish take on classic menswear. The thoughtful mix of textures, colors, and fabrics makes this a great choice for casual wear or celebratory occasions.
