“Button Down Shirt” Tech Pack

(July 2023.) This was my first, and currently only, attempt at luxury. I created this garment with the vision of having it be worn to a nice dinner, where the dress code is more strict and the person going must be seen as presentable by the restaurant workers.

Speaking on the design itself, I tried to keep it simple while allowing the details to be the thing that draws in the attention of people. This is essentially my take on minimalism. To begin, I picked the color of forest green because I find it calming while still promoting a feeling of luxury. Rather than use a neutral color like most designs would have, I still wanted to incorporate a color that would stand-out while not yelling “Look at me!.” Next, I incorporated white pinstripes into the design as a way to create some contrast into the garment instead of it just being a singular color. The Star of David logo was intended to be gold for no reason besides the fact that I liked the way it went with the color scheme. Both the pinstripes and the Star of David logo would be embroidered while the green self fabric would be satin. Construction wise, the garment would be made with french seams, but I would be open to exploring other seam options.

For this techpack, I think an assembly page would be helpful to communicate with the manufacturer. Another thing that would be helpful would be if I added a care page, or at least care label artwork. I also still need to better communicate the colors used for the garment.
