So I drafted a pattern and made some: + +![An early tryout of the Shin pattern](https://posts.freesewing.org/uploads/sample_0437fef846.jpg) + +I asked if people would be interested in a pattern like this, and turns out that yes, they were. + +So, after some more tweaking, I think this is ready for you guys, and meanwhile Roy +has already provided an illustration for it too. + +![I'll be the first to admit that this guy wears it better than me](https://posts.freesewing.org/uploads/shin_0dc5fdd06d.jpg) + +## Options and documentation available + +Shin comes with options, and they are very close to the options available for +[Bruce](/designs/bruce). + +All [options are documented](/docs/patterns/shin/options), +as are the [required measurements](/docs/patterns/shin/measurements), +and I've also written [instructions for how to make this](/docs/patterns/shin). + +I still have to do the illustrations, but it's really not hard so you'll probably +figure it out without them. +Essentially, you can go and make this right now. + +Enjoy! + +
