English Collar Shirt - Traditional Craftsmanship

Why wear the English collar?

The English collar, whose two points are connected by a fabric tab and a small button behind the tie knot, is an ideal collar for high tie knots. It's a collar that suits all festive occasions, but also for everyday wear. In addition to the elegance this collar offers, there's another practical advantage: the hidden fabric tab ensures that the tie stays in place and doesn't slip, even when it moves.

In addition to its chic style, the English collar shirt has French cuffs, for wearing cufflinks. All of this makes this shirt a versatile piece to have in your wardrobe.

Where does the English collar come from?

Originally, the Prince of Wales wore this collar during a trip to the United States. People were surprised by this collar and the prince's style. They were particularly interested in the small button connecting the two parts of the collar, keeping the tie in place.

We recommend wearing this collar with ties of normal width or a slim tie, as this is the best way to showcase it. The tab prevents the collar from moving and discreetly lifts the tie.

Daniel Craig as James Bond, as well as Jude Law, Jack Lang and Karl Lagerfeld are famous wearers of this collar.
