Tab collar

Tab collar

The Tab collar
 can only be worn with a tie. It is a shirt collar with a small snap tab that fasten the points together underneath the knot of the tie. This holds the Tab collar as well as the tie in the right position and forces the tie forward and up, creating the “standing” look of more elaborate knots. Especially popular on dress shirts in the US. Indeed, the Prins of Wales introduced it while travelling on the American continent in the 30’s.

Style Advice
The Tab collar should never be worn without a tie, and can be used to hide a abnormally long neck. It is very difficult to get a Tab collar nowadays as it is ‘so chic’ and ‘so bristish’. Only wear this collar if you have the confidence to wield the attention it will draw.
