It's every counterfeiters wet dream: the instructions on how to make a Paul Smith shirt. Buyer beware? Forget it. You're making this one yourself, and Sir Paul has been nice enough to put together the instructions (not to mention the pattern) for you.

And they're all available at The Guardian in nine easy to follow steps, with everything from darting to making a new collar covered.
With my birthday coming up, I'll go for the real thing thanks.

Traditionalist and futurist are two of the labels applied to Daniel, but he sees the two as being in perfect balance. With a keen eye on the future and his finger on the pulse he helps keep fashionisers everywhere ahead in the fashion stakes as Fashionising.com's lead fashion trend analyst. Believing that the late-2000s credit crisis will be ultimately good for fashion, Daniel sees a future for fashion where grounded in traditional values; where luxury fashion again comes to represent quality production as opposed to being solely label driven.
