SHORT SLEEVE FLIPPED COLLAR SHIRT IN RINSED HANDKERCHIEF CHECK

The Flipped Collar Shirt is a new style for Tender, combining elements from previous shirt styles. The front placket is reversed and sewn down on the outside, similar to the Butterfly Shirt, which traps two large center pockets at a comfortable hand height. The back is shaped with a single large asymmetrical pleat like the Millwheel Shirt, and the collar is cut from the same pattern. However, the collar panel, once cut, is flipped upside down and the long side, not the short side, is sewn into the neck of the shirt. As the point of the collar would normally sit just above the front edge of the shirt, here the collar grows directly from the placket, then slopes back to a seamed edge. An extra button and buttonhole is added in the center of the collar so that it can also be done up close to the neck.

Handkerchief Check is a very fine cotton twill, woven with a large check in bands of indigo cotton and natural brown linen. The square of the check would form the border for a handkerchief if it was cut up and hemmed. The grid is cut randomly across the shirt panels, so each piece is unique.
