Ginkgo Men's Mandarin Collar Shirt
The Ginkgo Shirt is a short-sleeved mandarin-collar shirt designed to take you from festive gatherings to everyday moments with style and ease. Featuring clean lines, a straight side seam, and a comfortable relaxed fit (with 10 cm of chest ease), this pattern creates a silhouette that feels polished without being restrictive — perfect for warm climates and easy movement.
Choose between two collar variations to suit your personal style:
-
A contemporary overlapping mandarin collar for a minimalist, modern look
-
A traditional Changshan-inspired stand collar for a touch of heritage
Thoughtfully designed details like a neatly integrated chest pocket bring together functionality and subtle visual interest, while keeping the overall look refined and wearable.
Whether you're sewing it in a bold festive print for Chinese New Year or crafting a timeless everyday staple, the Ginkgo Shirt is a versatile wardrobe essential that sews up beautifully in cotton, linen, rayon, and other light to medium-weight fabrics.
Make one — or many — and enjoy how effortlessly it elevates any occasion.
