Therefore, the sleeve pattern is drafted with a significantly reduced sleeve cap and thus receives a lot of movement length under the arm. This is supported by a narrower construction of the shoulder: the amount of ease included in the back width and chest width remain normal, whereby the addition to armhole depth is increased \u2013 proportionally, the shoulder is narrowed. The shirt should also be loose fitting enough to avoid sticking to the body but still fitted enough to be worn under the suit jacket, frock or conductors coat. Extra length is added to avoid slipping out of the trousers and the side slit is also slightly reduced. The basic shirts block in size 50 can be found in the book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muellerundsohn.com\/shop\/fundamentals-menswear\/\">Fundamentals Menswear<\/a> on page 49.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"product-5796\" class=\"checkout-widget product-data  product-widget-container grid-x\" role=\"article\" data-product-name=\"Download M.
