Hi All,
Any thoughts on the hidden buttondown collar?
Example: "http://www.landsend.com/pp/TraditionalFitHiddenButtondownSummerTwillShi-58897_228038_-1.html?cm_mmc=BizRate-_-null-_-LIQ-_-data_feed"
The button closure can be a buttonhole only on the inner layer of the collar, or simply a loop.
Seems like a nice alternative to Wurkinstiffs, and so far I like it.
2 criticisms I can think of:
1. (without tie, and top button unbuttoned) It can be sufficiently straight-up, to appear like the top button is buttoned, or the "invisible tie" look. But I think that was just the first time out of the box.
2. The button closure is weaker by not coming through to the outside of the collar and latching around, and thus easier to inadvertently detach. Personally haven't had trouble with this though.
I'm considering DIYing it into another shirt to see how easy that is. (Definitely with the loop, rather than the button hole.) Just a loop made of scrap, and sewing a button. Placement needs to be precise, of course.
Interested in opinions!
