The Cornelius Western Shirt PDF Sewing Pattern by Closet Core Patterns, created in collaboration with Cornelius Quiring, combines iconic Western shirt details with thoughtful construction and an impressive range of customizable options.

Cornelius has a semi-fitted silhouette that can be further shaped with optional front darts and back fish-eye darts. Both views feature classic sleeves with tower plackets and cuffs, while different yokes, collars, pockets and decorative details can be mixed and matched to create your own Western shirt.

Keep it understated in classic shirting, chambray or linen, or embrace the Western aesthetic with piping, fringe, beading or embroidery.
