4 +3 | semi-Italian collar |

semi-Italian collar Explanation: Looks as if an Italian collar is one without the downward pointing points (remember the 1970s ;-) ? ), where the two ends for a horizontal line between the collarbones. I guess "semi" means it is not quite as straight or flat, but not as pointed as conventional collars (whatever the fashion is these days). If you look closely at American and Italian button down collars you'll see that they're cut differently. Unbutton both American and Italian collars and lay them flat to compare. You'll see that the front edge of the America collar has a pronounced curve whereas the Italian collar is more straight (This applies only to the quality American shirts.) The curve on the American collar produces a nice "roll" in the collar when it's buttoned down - especially noticeable when not wearing a tie and with the top front button undone. The Italian button down collar has a straight front edge and the collar lies flatter. http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/2006/05/style-cue-part-2...

A flat-lying Italian collar finishes the look. This was a popular collar style in the 1950s http://www.asyoulikeitkc.com/1950smuseum.htm Picture at altura.speedera.net/.../products/lg_8429061.jpg |
