Godfather Shirt
9:27 AM
In the Godfather: Part II Robert De Niro wears an amazing shirt in multiple scenes. It's dusty blue with a contrasting navy blue collar, cuffs, front placket, and welt pockets. Every time Drew and I watch the movie, we're both drooling over the shirt, so I decided to make it for him.
The only blue cotton I had on hand was pastel Easter egg blue, so to get the dusty shade I wanted I just gave the fabric a single quick dip in black dye and it turned out surprisingly perfect. I love the extra large Italian style collar, and it was fun to do the slanted welt pockets.

Once again...Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI love the first two Godfather films, and DeNiro's style (and acting) in the second one is mostly the reason I love that film!
You did a fabulous job.
