Ashverne - Poplin Dress Shirt with Spread Collar
A cotton poplin dress shirt with a spread collar, double-button cuffs and a plain front placket.
There are three or four days a year when a shirt has to be a proper shirt. Owning one that is cut correctly removes the scramble the night before.
Why this dress shirt?
- Poplin weave: the plain weave gives a smooth, closed surface that takes a press and holds it.
- Spread collar: the collar points sit wider apart, which leaves room for a tie knot without crowding the throat.
- Double-button cuff: two buttons at the cuff allow the wrist to be set close or left with a little room.
- Clean placket: the front placket is stitched flat with no visible topstitching down the centre.
- Tapered body: the sides are shaped so the shirt stays flat when tucked in.
Ideal for:
Men who need one formal shirt kept ready rather than a drawer of them. It handles weddings, funerals, interviews and the occasional appraisal.
Does it take a tie?
Yes. The spread collar is cut for a standard or a half Windsor knot.
Will it stay tucked in?
The body is tapered and the hem is long, both of which help it hold at the waistband.
How should it be stored?
On a hanger with the top button closed, which keeps the collar in shape between wears.
