Button-Down Collars for Custom Shirts
Here are 5 different types of button-down collar which you can use when making a custom shirt
Button-down collars feature buttons which fix both collar points in place. These buttons can either be visible or hidden. Visible buttons are a more casual option whereas hidden buttons are smarter.
This collar type is best suited to casual shirts, complementing linen, flannel and Oxford fabrics.
As the visible buttons elongate this collar’s profile it is particularly flattering for round faces.
