Add a genuine, handcrafted element to your wardrobe with this embroidered Worldstock shirt. This elegant shirt combines old-world craftsmanship with contemporary styling for the best of both worlds. The laced placard is surrounded by intricate hand embroidery in a traditional Afghani pattern. A vented gem and embroidered cuffs complete the design. These ensembles are crafted exclusively for Worldstock by talented Afghani women weavers. During a recent trip to Afghanistan, Overstock.com President Patrick Byrne and Worldstock Director Neelab Kanishka met with these artisans, most of whom are women who have lost husbands or fathers during the years of turmoil in this troubled land. Worldstock works with these women on a contract basis, and is now the largest source of employment for Afghani women. Dimensions: Shoulder to cuff: 21 in. Shoulder to hem: 27 in. Shoulder to shoulder: 17 in. Each of these ensembles is made by an individual artisan, so the embroidery pattern may vary slightly, adding to each pieces unique charm. Worldstock prices these goods as inexpensively as possible in order to drive up volume and create as many employment opportunities for these talented women as we can. The handcrafted nature of this product will produce minor differences in design and sizing. Subtle variations will occur from piece to piece, adding to its unique qualities. Measurements may vary slightly. Imported
