How to choose an embroidered shirt for a boy

First, a word about the meaning of the colours and the ornament, for a coded message is hidden in them:

• red — fills with energy, gives vital force, awakens love;
• black — not only sorrow but the fertility of our generous, nurturing earth. It promises wellbeing;
• blue — very common. It stands for the strength and purity of water and for the boundless sky. It protects from illness and danger;
• white — guards against the evil eye and keeps misfortune away;
• yellow — associated with gold. It stands for wellbeing and wealth and a joyful view of life;
• green — a symbol of youth and beauty. It protects from natural disasters.

Multicoloured children's embroidered shirts for boys have lately been gaining popularity in Lviv, Kyiv, Stryi, Khmelnytskyi and Ivano-Frankivsk. A colourful ornament in which many colours are interwoven strengthens the power of the talisman.

The elements of the ornament have their own magical meaning too:

• the rose stands for the endlessness of life. It is shown as a circle. It promotes long life;
• the serpent stands for the element of water;
• the eight-pointed flower is a symbol of the sun;
• the diamond gives a man's strength;
• the lily foretells a happy married life.

Hand or machine embroidery?

Hand embroidery speaks of a piece's authenticity, for our great-grandmothers embroidered their clothing with their own hands. But if your aim is to buy an affordable embroidered shirt for a boy, machine-embroidered designs are worth considering. Their advantages include durability and colourfastness. They do not lose their brightness after many washes.

Machine embroidery is not hard to spot: just turn the shirt inside out. On the reverse the pattern should look much like the one on the face.

Hand embroidery looks different on the reverse.

The quality of the fabric

A child should feel comfortable in a shirt, so choose natural materials: linen and cotton. They allow good air exchange, so a boy will feel fine in the hot months.

Exclusive, authentic pieces are made from homespun cloth, which is woven by hand.

You will also come across shirts in gabardine. It is made from the wool of Australian sheep. Gabardine holds its shape better and creases less.

A small proportion of synthetic fibre improves how a piece looks and helps it hold its shape.

On our site you can order a shirt in white, blue, grey or green fabric.

The cut

Our catalogue holds designs with long and short sleeves. The ornament sits on the chest and at the lower part of the sleeve.

There are shirts with a stand-up collar and with a turn-down collar. There are stylised pieces with asymmetric embroidery.
