A new member in the unit means near gear. And the first thing that everybody needs in terms of clothing is a tunic. Parts are fairly easy but not just any shirt will do.
I experimented with a slightly heavier fabric plus gussetts under the arms. So far it's holding up nicely. He's happy with it and I'm happy with it.
I was a little worried the heavier fabric would be too hot for summer wear but it doesn't seem to be too bad. Of course we also haven't hit high summer temps yet either.
And of course my obsession with the neckline. :laugh:
