Shirt Collar Styles for Men: A Complete Guide - Point, Spread, Cutaway & More

[@lolvonlolipopp]

This is why I love the Gentleman's Gazette you go into deep theory on menswear that no other youtube channel provides.

[@e88e16]

Yeah they deserve more subs like at least 1 million lol

I'm a woman and your channel is both professional and helpful for me. Didn't find any female fashion channel with this level of professionalism.

[@roopnarinericky]

I love Raphael and Kyle but i have to admit that you are my favorite person on all of the KZbin platform to watch. You are so well spoken and you just have that special something about you.

[@gentlemansgazette]

Thanks for your kind words and loyal viewership, Ricky! Glad you're enjoying our content. :) - Preston

[@DarknessFalls29]

They are all my favorites! It's hard to pick who I like most because they all have unique styles. I wonder if this is how parents of multiple kids feel 🤔

[@Murcielag0scuro]

@@gentlemansgazette I was hoping Raphael or Kyle would reply and say something sassy (yet humourous). Haha. :)

[@richlrn64]

Stiffness, height, size, spread. And I was convinced Preston kept it clean!

[@JoseRuiz-ng3qs]

The ultimate style channel on the internet. For men. Woman have their own style channels. This one, is for real men and Marines. These men are of the highest standard and knowledge.

[@Stuukabop]

Everytime I think to myself "I wonder if GG has made a video about this" I search and find 3 different videos. You guys are the best!!!!

[@ivanlouisjbarrantes1254]

This is a one of the most concise and comprehensive video about shirt collars I have ever seen so well done. A collar style you forgot to mention Preston is a Roman collar (aka Priest/Clerical) collar which is similar a mix of the regular collar, square collar and band collar but has a small opening for a piece of cloth or plastic is inserted to form a priestly/clerical appearance. Not to mention the full roman collar which is a round collar that is attached to a shirt to give a more formal priest appearance. Otherwise great video (though I understand that both Roman collars are typically reserved for clergymen)

[@GarNelson1]

Thank you Preston. I've recently become a big fan of Winchester point collars with a hidden button loop, but it's good to see the vast options there are in collar styles.

[@janicehussock7735]

Female watcher for textile care. A lot applies to women’s fashion, too. I want to commend how Preston shows how to build slowly and prudently on a budget. I recall scrambling after college and law school to build a professional wardrobe. Brooks Brother and Ann Taylor has only a few items. Women were just starting to enter NY law and financial firms. The senior partners did not want us in fashion forward. But they loved spray on pants on the young receptionists. There were debates about how to push the edge a bit. Your channel is great for educating. Showing men who are not dripping in daddy’s money is a smart move. A differentiator. I plan to purchase your accessories to incorporate in my legal wear. As a tall woman. I do but men’s wear but fit issues remain. Ralph Lauren knows the conversion process but Macy’s salespeople are stunned.

[@lawden210]

Dear Gentleman's Gazette, what are your thoughts on using detachable collars outside white and black tie?

[@Sam-lj9vj]

I may not be speaking for the Gazette, but I wear my detachable collar shirts a lot and often with a black tie. Personally I love it., especially since you can show the little golden knob that holds the collar when you shove the tie a bit down.

[@f_m_3682]

I also think that detachable stiff collars (imperials, wings, clubs) are the best choice for a vintage-inspired white/black tie ensemble.

[@gentlemansgazette]

Vintage lovers are into it, and in legal professions in England some still like them. If you like the look and feel of them it might be an option especially if you have soft, detachable turndown collars.

[@s.m.mediaproductions5304]

@@gentlemansgazette Darcy Clothing from England has the best detachable collars.

[@Sam-lj9vj]

@@Cutesy_Time_is_Over I got mine from Darcyclothing. I believe they supply the collars for peaky blinders as well.

I really appreciate these videos. Preston, you know your stuff. I am wondering if (and perhaps you have done so already) you could show us a video of classic menswear from the 1930's? I am very fond of that particular era but do not know how to go about creating a wardrobe dedicated to that theme. Thank you Preston.

[@Hallyug]

I like this Preston guy

[@davidnorth9390]

Long ago, a mentor suggested the length of collar points should coincide approximately with the notches in a jacket lapel. Still a valid guideline? BTW: This was enjoyable (thank you)!

[@admiraljohnsten1235]

Thanks guys! Really needed that in depth video on shirt collars. I look at dress shirts so often and now I know some great tips for buying

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

I say keep it simple with traditional straight point regular or button down style dress shirts. Unless you wear Armani or Italian 🇮🇹 style suits I'd wear conservative style ties, shirts 👔.

[@blaskowitz7000]

I've needed a guide like this for a long time. Thanks Preston!

[@Padoinky]

My issue has always been the girth if my neck... as a college football player, I spent a lot of time in the weight room and post college I competed in both powerlifting and other strength competitions... my neck was at one point 24” in circumference, whist now, in my mid-50s, I’ve slimmed down to “only” 20” lol... suffice it to say that my only options for appropriately fitted biz attire has been to go the bespoken route.... of which I can now take advantage of digital commerce and outsource my needs to far-east based tailor operations.... definitely 1st world problems lol

[@Frankness777]

Preston, are there any guidlines or information on your channel regarding the untucked dress shirt option? Thanks

[@Murcielag0scuro]

I'm not sure if I understand your comment correctly, but typically, if a shirt has a tail at the front, (which, in case you don't know, are two flaps of fabric that are separated) it should be tucked in, otherwise, it is to be left untucked. I hope this helped somehow. :)

[@MehdiScent]

Great content mate .... thumbs up 👍

[@wassimarnaout]

[@gentlemansgazette]

Thank you! :)

[@PabloMatsumoto]

In Argentina (and I believe in Latin America in general) wearing a button-down collar with a necktie or with a formal suit is a no-no if you want to be elegant.

[@noahapollo]

The collars worn everyday at Eton are still club collars! They're called Arundel collars and they are still detached and starched.

What about Brioni, I often see their shirts on President Trump and the collar always seems to sit and look very studious and strong, what type of collar is that?

[@ntlrancho4life120]

Could you make a video on how to style each collar. For example, it mentions that the pointed collar is american business standard, but how to match pointed collars with suits and ties so everything is symmetrical?

[@orionspero560]

Is there's a collar on looking for the term for. I didn't find it here. It looks like a French cop and in the absence of the time like torn a decorative length will be used. Is the elyst formal sophisticated version of this is to use an ordinary cufflink With a tie a tie pin will be put between the halis the holes either above below or both. Is a related question as to how do you strive how far apart the is color fold or from each other.

[@Rcaneneophyte8906]

Thank you, much appreciated.

[@nicktavell1900]

Is it still ok to ware a shirt with pin holes without the collar bar

[@Shortandslicked911]

An excellent video sir .

[@axelwalter4046]

The "tie-gap" is also important, besides the spread or "point-to-point gap": the tie-gap is the gap between the 2 sides of the collar at the junction between collar band and collar attachment. In a wide-spread collar, the tie-gap should be small (2-5mm), in a button-down collar, the tie-gap is normally a bit wider. A pointed collar can have a tie-gap of 1cm in order to make the tie more visible. Bad are an overlap of left- and right collar at the tie-gap point, or a tie-gap that is too wide

[@RobertKelleyPhD]

I've seen the pajama/Cuban/bowling collar called a "camp collar" before. Is this a proprietary name for it, or just one that y'all missed?

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

The Charlie Sheen, Tommy Bahama look in 2020 is somewhat played out. I've seen men over 40+ wearing "camp shirts" and it's not a good look.

Hi, does anyone know where to get good collar bars in a barbell style on a college budget?

From my experience, purchasing them on a budget isn't a good idea. I recommend simply saving up for a Fort Belvedere one. They have fantastic quality products.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

I like 2 tone mens dress shirts. 👔. I remember TV anchors wearing them & was impressed as a teen. 1980s. I have a small(weak) chin & larger head so a spread collar does not look as good as a standard pointed collar.

[@t.s..]

What about "The curved MJ" collar type?

[@jetcitysinatra7300]

First should have been fit/gape. How the collar fits to your neck and if there is a gape in the back when you move or lean forward. A properly fitted shirt collar should move with you and hug your neck without it strangling you. When I buy a shirt I get a European Collar custom fit shirt as it is roomy in the chest and back but not so much to be baggy.

[@xberman]

Such a pity that you didn't discuss matching collar and beard styles! Having a pointy goatee or a fuller beard that makes your face more square shaped completely affects the way the collar fits. I have a longer beard and full cutaways barely stand out as it is mostly covered

[@sirrobertlacy]

No club collar?

Wing collars are more formal and would work in a wedding/gala setting but probably wouldn't work at the workplace.

[@robertarnold6192]

US Marine dress uniforms are famous for the Mandarin collar (and trust me it can get uncomfortable)

[@peterhess2610]

Everywhere I look all I see is spread collars with Windsor knots. This combination is a disaster for me. Even on the MTM sites it’s either spread or button down collars. I guess I’ll have to go the bespoke route and spend tons of $$$ in order to get the right collar for me.

[@qarhsi]

please increase the volume...

[@abbadabbba232]

Personally I think it's ridiculous to say that you shouldn't wear a button-down collar with a suit. I'm sorry, but a button-down is not "casual" just because of those two buttons. If it's made out of the exact same material as dress shirts with other types of collars it is perfectly fine to wear it with any suit you'd wear with those other types of collars. It's the material and the cut of the shirt that makes it appropriate or inappropriate with a suit, not the collar.

[@WilliamPhillips-m9j]

Totally agree
