Abstract
Shirts may be fabricated with a minimal number of sewn seams utilizing a first circularly knitted fabric tube forming a shirt body and a second circularly knitted fabric tube forming shoulder portions and sleeves by orienting the tubes essentially transversely to one another and sewing one axial end of the tubular fabric of the shirt body to a side portion medially along the length of the tubular fabric of the shoulders and sleeves.
