The Stole Pocket Butterfly shirt has long panel pockets sewn to the fronts and caught into the shoulder seam, recalling the embroidered liturgical vestments worn by Christian priests and bishops. The pockets are accessed from openings at the side, wearing as hand warmers.

The shirt is cut on the Tender Butterfly block, with no side seams and reversed sleeves, joined along the top sleeve and into the shoulder. Unlike previous butterfly shirts, cuffs open with full tailored plackets behind the wrist.

Buttons are real shell interpretations of a standard cats eye button, and the whole garment is sewn with cotton thread.
