Reference garment: This Nike shirt got my attention because the cutting is unusual for a mass-produced brand like Nike. Kinda looks like taekwondo uniform. Unfortunately, I cannot find the product page. If anyone know, please comment.

Bodice: Aldrich kimono block. *** As most Aldrich men block, it has built-in seam allowance that need to be removed during tracing. In the video, I made a minor mistake where I offset hem allowance along the sleeve opening, which I was not suppose to do accordingly to original instruction. This made the sleeve length 1 cm shorter that it supposed to be ******

Sleeve: Aldrich kimono sleeve with simple gusset

Fabric: Woven. I use nylon. Knit rib fabric for collar, cuff and waistband.

Not shown in video: Everything important is shown. You just need to change fabric and add topstitch. I edited the collar texture to add the white stripes

Did you also include the seam allowance across the width? In the video, you did chest cirumference/4 + 8.5. If I'm not mistaken, this consists of the 1cm seam allowance for the Aldrich ‘flat’ overgarment block (woven fabrics).
