It should of course fit the recipient perfectly; so you may want to take him shopping for this part without any mention of what you intend to do with the shirt of course. Stick with simple designs and either a solid color or a very small, very subtle design on the fabric.

The next step will be to design the embroidery itself. Determine where you would like it to go. Popular options are on or fight below the shirt pocket and the ends of the collar. Keep the design fairly small and choose a color that blends into the fabric. Yes, it is tempting to go with something contrasting that really stands out and shows off your embroidery skills, but remember, you are trying to create something he will actually wear.

The last step will be do embroider the actual linen shirt. It doesn’t matter if you hare doing your embroidery by hand, or if you are using a machine. Take your time, think through each step and embroider with care. Before you know it you have a beautiful men’s embroidered linen shirt that makes a gift that will be treasured for a lifetime.
