The Men's Tunic Sewing Pattern is a relaxed pull-on tunic with a banded collar and a four-button front placket. The double yoke with a center-back box pleat creates a comfortable, easy fit. Choose between two sleeve options and finish with a classic curved hem or a long straight body with side slits at the hem. Lightweight linen, cotton, or seersucker all work beautifully for this style.
Our model is 6'4" / 192 cm tall and wears the Men's Tunic sewing pattern in size XL.
Style the Tunic with the Summer Pants sewing pattern, try the relaxed Volume Pants sewing pattern, or layer it with the Bear Jacket sewing pattern to complete a handmade wardrobe.

Reviews
★★★★★ The best beginner-friendly pattern everI bought this pattern with the intention of making a birthday gift for my partner and read all the reviews because, as an absolute beginner sewist, I knew this would be a challenge. From the written instructions to the you tube sew along videos I honestly could not have been in better hands - everything clearly laid out and beautifully demonstrated. The shirt came out fantastically and has given me the confidence to keep trying things outside of my comfort zone. I cant recommend this enough.

★★★★★ So goodMy husband appreciated the tailored shirt with nice details. And I appreciated the well drafted pattern and the instructions. It was easy to accomplish a clean look for example on the collar because of the clever order of steps. I made view A and added the straps on the arms from view B.

★★★★★ Great patternI've sew a medieval style linen Tunic out of this pattern. I've skipped the Button placket and replaced it with lacing. The instructions were really easy to follow. I'm really happy with the result.

★★★★★ Lovely topI have just finished the men's Tunic for my husband. I adapted the pattern to make a pyjama top. I omitted the buttons and buttonholes after shortening the placket. It looks nice on him. He has still to wear it. The video was very helpful. I think I will make another in linen. Very pleased.

★★★★★ Nice men’s shirtMy 10 year old is right in between kids and men’s sizes…he’s really tall, too. He wanted this style shirt and this pattern fit the bill. I made an xsmall graded to a small at the hip, with short sleeves, and it fits well. I appreciate the range of sizes WBM offers; It’s great to buy patterns with sizes that will be useful more than once, versus buying a kid pattern that he’s already the largest size for. I will definitely buy more WBM patterns as the directions were clear, and the pattern pieces

★★★★★ SurpriseBonjour, je n'ai toujours pas reçu le patron commandé alors que l'article a été payé. Je vous prie de faire le nécessaire pour régler ce contretemps. Cordialement, Pierre Oberto

★★★★★ Loved the finished garment!A lot to learn for me on this one, but found the video tutorials very useful, was actually too late by the time I found the men's placket video :) Made a combination of view a and b (roll-up sleeves with a curved hem), which I am pleased with. Will definitely be making again soon!
