The Todd Shelton Approach to Controlling a Point Collar

We believe most guys prefer a Button-Down down collar because the buttons allow them to keep their collar in place.  They have control over their collar.  Compared to a Point collar, a Button-Down collar (when buttoned) wraps around the neck better, standing higher and preventing the collar from spreading open.

A Point collar, in contrast, cannot easily be controlled without the buttons – tending to spread open and fall flat.   So we saw this as a problem, and developed a fix for it.

We developed a proprietary Collar-Control, a little hidden button and buttonhole to keep your collar from spreading out.  It allows your Point collar to perform like a Button-Down collar; standing higher around your neck and not spreading out.

We’ve seen different brands approach this fix differently.  Let’s look at the functionality of our design fix:

Notice the construction of the Collar-Control:  a little hidden button and buttonhole.

The left arrow shows the Collar-Control in use.  The right arrow shows the Collar–Control not in use.    Notice how the Collar-Control keeps the collar wrapped close around the neck.

If you buy a Todd Shelton shirt; when you first try it on, evaluate the look with the Collar-Control buttoned, then unbuttoned.  You will see how the Collar-Control offers you two distinct looks.  Use is optional.

Notice the Collar-Control is hidden, it looks natural.  This image shows how the collar will look with both Control-Controls in use.

Do Not Use When Wearing a Tie

The Collar-Control should not be used when wearing a tie.  If the buttons are fastened, the tie will not wrap around the neck properly.

When Washing

It’s a good idea to unbutton all the buttons on your shirt when washing, including the Collar-Controls.
