I really like this shirt, and thought is sewed up pretty well. I did get a bit confused by the placket instructions, but it turned out fine in the end. I did buttons on the placket, but if I make this shirt again I would do snaps because it was very hard to get the buttonhole on the placket. To avoid having to match too much plaid, I cut the yoke, pocket, pocket flap, upper collar, and placket out on the bias. I cut a 2nd yoke piece so that my yoke was lined like nicer men's shirts.
