Hawaiian Negroni

Hipster alert! This is the second shirt I’ve made for the Snook using Colette Patterns’ Negroni. I actually modded the pattern a little bit based on some of his purchased Hawaiian shirts. I only put on one pocket, and I didn’t bother with the pocket flap. I also straightened the side seams and bottom hem for a boxier, more casual cut. I bought the fabric last year in Honolulu at Hawaii Fabric Mart (who I highly recommend!). The coconut buttons are from All Buttons Great and Small. I’m pretty happy with how this turned out!
