yes flower are nor necessary bad for men shirts, Hawaii style shirts are quite suitable and cheerful for men.

flowery with a plain complement color works well too . I found our men aren't too happy to wear dull colors all the time

Love the pose! You have given me an idea. Someone just donated some flowery material in the hope of me giving my action men some trousers...but a shirt might work!

thanks a lot Kate, I really appreciate and I am very (sincerely) honored about my pics on your desktop,  it is as a little bit of myself was coming into your place 

 I am myself very inspired by being here. since I joined dollObs I took back a dip interest in my Gang. I was not sewing to much for them anymore,  relying on the clothes I made some time ago to play with them.  then I join (almost 2 year ago now!! ) and bang!! Simon started the photo challenge it make me going back to my sewing machine and now I miss when I am 1 day without it hee hee. I got plenty of ideas (for the men right now) and my lovely hubby buy Esquire mag. just to encourage a bit more :)

Even in Chihuahua the winter in harsh and Carlos needed a warm jacket.

Today I made him a khaki corduroy cargo jacket with flapped cargo pockets. 
I used brads and snaps for the closure. 

the bolo-tie is made of leather and beads (they are sewn on a earing stud, that allow the cord to be adjustable.
for once the jacket is not lined but totally serger stiched.
the scarf is in wool "clan'

the pants and shirt are the same as the precedent post.

as usual you can see more pics in my blog

Yeah! finally after 11 days, i received my brads today!.I have ordered them in France and although the order has been treated quickly, my package went from one post office to another between France and Spain. I discovered some time ago that the very small brads placed on a sporty outfit  gave a good illusion of real snaps, but as I have to place the brads before sewing the snaps (inside the garment) in place I had to wait the arrival of my parcel.
now that everything in order, I will place pictures regularely again!!

 

Today Carlos is quite elegant with a Burberry like shirt and light beige jeans

as usual you 'll have more pics in my blog

Lol!! Kate,  maybe this shirt was found in a pirate treasure chest?? I love your sens of humor it does help a lot while sewing (believe me on this one :)

we always have to learn while sewing. I hated when I had to un-stitch  some mistake I made ,but my sweet Grand-ma told me once -"doing ..and undoing is working anyway"so we learn with each stitch 

never despair. look at my blog (the first pages) and you will see  how fare I came from. 

I am glad if I could have been of some help
