Shirt construction recommendations

[Futura]

Does anyone have any suggestions for books on shirt construction? I have plenty of drafts, but nothing on the actual assembly of shirts. Many thanks!

David Coffin's book is really very good, despite some detractors in the previous forum.

He presents many ideas and templates as well as basics.

Thank you for the suggestion! Is the book "Shirtmaking: Developing Skills For Fine Sewing"?

Do you know of any older resources on shirts? It looks like all of my books in my collection focus on either drafting, or jackets and trousers.

Yes, that's the one.

I have a few pages of Parsons Standard Tunic.  I'll put that up in the morning.

This Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG10V51uJf4&list=PLQs97bCwhDYzMenelYAHBceEj0H7yBOFb) was incredibly helpful for me - they go through their process of shirt making from cutting all the way through attaching the buttons. They differ from DPC's book (which I also recommend wholeheartedly), but I found the way they do the side and armhole seams to be easier than using a felling foot. Also, DPC released a companion video with his book that I found helpful. Sometimes it's hard to visualize how certain techniques work just by reading them. https://ebay.us/2sSMCg (I don't know why this copy is $40, I bought it for about $20 a few years ago).

This channel is really incredibly detailed.

This is not a Buiness shirt, but a great reference if you like tunic shirts.
