Masculine elegance meets Maison Fauve style: the SCALA shirt is inspired by the charm of Italian tailoring.

With its oversized, fine-pointed collar and wide pleats sewn on the front , SCALA focuses on refined details . A soft, rounded pleat adds movement to the back, while its timeless straight cut and slightly dropped shoulders create a chic, easy-to-wear silhouette.

Sewing level : INTERMEDIATE . Technical points: sewing stitched pleats, making a shirt collar, making a neat sheath assembly, preparing a sleeve in 2 parts with an opening at the bottom of the sleeve, and setting up a cuff.
