If your guy's got simple tastes (jeans and tees for, well, everything) it can be hard to wrangle him into anything you'd consider cool. This free pattern for a guy's tee from Burda Style should be something that looks good but he won't complain about.

The pattern requires 1.5 yards of jersey knit fabric (I'd go with a poly/cotton blend to avoid shrinkage and I love the stripes the Burda folks chose) and .5 yard or rib knit. The bird detailing could be crafted out of a piece of DIY felt to create an interesting textural element—just be careful that's it's fully shrunken or it'll have to be washed with care. This is not a skill many of the guys I know possess.

This pattern is rated as semi-easy, and you have to create an account on the site (free!) to access the pattern. Enjoy!
