Chris, one important attribute  of shirt collars not mentioned is tie spacing, which ideally should be zero.

There is also another very rare detachable collar from the 1910's that made a modest comeback as an attached collar shirt in the early 60s amongst businessmen and the mod musicians which is known as the "claw" collar. Instead of points, it has curved flaps that curl underneath the tie knot and fastened either to the stud or simply button together. This makes for a truly seamless look where it looks like the tie is simply protruding from a turtlneck shaped collar. It's very similar to that Tyfold collar in Boardwalk Empire.

In fairness to us Americans, I should note that the button-down IS casual...it's fine for the office, even with a tie, but it's not to be worn after 5:00 pm.  :)

seria genial con doblaje español por favor!!

Wonderful video and very knowledgeable guest speaker.  I was hopinjg for a leat a mention on what us americans call the winchester shirt.  Thanks Chris!

Which should be best worn for going to school daily with a tie but no jacket

Excellent video, I’d been looking forward to this topic! 12:03 is my point about extreme cutaways with a neck tie - not a clean look. That collar would be best served with a bow tie (which would conceal the band and give more room when looping the bow tie) or with no tie (which I’m not a fan of). The gentleman says it looks sloppy, I agree and still think it makes for a slovenly dressed man in appearance, it’s a distraction. Of all the people I learn from on YouTube Chris is the only one who is consistently immaculately arranged. That cutaway collar though, it’s his only flaw.

Very informative video, thanks!

Can one assume that the buttons on a bespoke shirt should be fashioned with a shank thread?

Very informative.  Question on the foldover cuff.  I have heard that when the links are in you shouldn't be able to pull your hand through.  If you can they are too big.  Thoughts?

So, for the average suitwearer, wearing ties on a daily, what type of collar would look best with a jacket: spread or semi-spread? I'm leaning more towards spread, but not a full spread, like Chris.
