Cuffs

Here are the common types of shirt collar you need to know.

Spread Collar 

 Spread Collar

A spread collar can be worn with a tie and is versatile enough to be worn for business, formal or casual occasions. The word #spread’ refers to the space between the collar points. Owing to the curve this is only available as a fused option.

Length of collar point 3”

Classic Collar (2 Button)

 

Classic Collar

This is an extremely common and traditional collar shape.

A tie works very well with the Classic Collar as it can accommodate a large knot.

Length of collar point 2.5”

Button-down Collars

 

Button Down

Self-explanatory – the collar buttons down attaching the points directly to the shirt.

As this collar is more casual in style, it can be worn with or without a tie. Available only as a fused option.

Length of collar point 3”

Button Under

 

Similar to the button down but the points are attached to the shirt from under the collar. Only available as a fused option.

Length of collar point 3”

 

Cutaway Collar

 

Similar to a Spread Collar, a Cutaway Collar has a space between the two points, but they point outward instead of down. The Cutaway Collar is an excellent choice to wear with a full or half Windsor tie knot, however it is equally suitable to be worn without a tie. Length of collar point 2.7"

Straight Collar

A collar with long pointy edges, usually worn with a tie as the extra-long collar points can look a little odd without one.

Length of collar point 3”

Tab Collar

 

This is a classic collar with two small tabs in the middle of the collar points. These connect beneath the necktie pushing the knot up and out.

Length of collar point 2.5”

Tunic/Collar Band

 

This is a collar with a small standing band, usually buttoned, in the style worn with detachable collars
