There are lots of dress shirt collars available from tailors nowadays, but usually the height of the shirt collar stops at two buttons. Two buttons already looks bold and does make a statement, but recently I stumbled upon this Japanese tailor who makes three button collars. I know I know, it’s not like it is completely out of this world, but the way they had done this makes it look really good. Great way to make an extra statement. Read what collars would suit you in our free FREE Men’s Button Down Dress Shirt Guide. The picture clearly shows that the inside collar contrast fabric is too bold, but it is the bold 3 button collar that should be emphasized.
Don’t forget that this is NOT a shirt collar for men with short necks (they will look even shorter with this shirt collar). Read more about that in our Dress Shirt Collar Guide.

Hi,
A lot of our customers go for the 3-button collar, mostly guys who want to have an impressive collar and don’t like (or want to wear) a tie.

It looks a little funny in the picture with the top button out of alignment. The houndstooth on the inside of the collar looks nice.
I have one shirt with a two button collar and it is a pretty cool look for a casual shirt. Three seems a bit over the top, sort of like the razor with 5 blades for a shave so close you have to regrow your epidermis.
I think what is really throwing me off in this picture is the fact that they are making a casual shirt out of a textured white broadcloth shirt. It seems a bit out of place. I would have to reserve final judgment for a shirt with color and perhaps a check pattern to get the full effect.

Where can I buy this kind of shirt? I am after a white shirt with two button collar (preferably without the button down sides). However this is the style of shirt I am looking for.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Do anyone know the fabricate of this shirt, or in other words, who sells it?
