“THE WHITE WING COLLAR SHIRT”

wing-shirt2

……………………………The WING COLLAR SHIRT, A259103, is back and ready for ordering. For me this is the best cotton shirt I have done. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Kate shirt, and the previous cotton shirts, but the WING COLLAR works under everything, and all types of collars…..even stand collars as shown above. If you like to flip your collars, which is the proper way to wear a Wing Collar, this is your best choice. A “Wing Collar” comes from men’s dress formal shirts. They have very short back stands so you do not fold them over. The front collars “flips” automatically. Of course for those who do not “flip” the back stand can be folded over to create a very narrow stand, and doing this will keep the front collar flat. It frames the face like no other collar and doesn’t have to be adjusted all day. The wing collar shirt, for those new to Linea. is made in my custom cotton/span fabric. Why do I say custom, because this fabric is made exclusively for me every time I create a shirt in this fabric, or reorder a style in this cotton. It is a very fine twill with a minimum amount of span to give just enough stretch. If you are tired of buying white cotton shirts that are thin and cheap looking, even though they are not inexpensive……I think this will be your answer. There are no “chemicals” used in creating this fabric to prevent wrinkling so some ironing may be required. I think you should know that up front, but since the shirts in this fabric have been reordered MANY times, it doesn’t seem to be that big a problem. The fabric, handled correctly, will always look CRISP…..The shirt has a button cuff and a placket and button on the sleeve as do traditional menswear shirts. The bottom has a curved hem. Shirts worn on the outside can be more flattering with a curved hem on some body types than a straight across hem……If you are a WHITE SHIRT LOVER like many of my Linea Ladies are, you may want to own more than one, two or even three as many women already do……………White shirts can really spike a spring, summer and FALL outfit and give it a fresh spirited look……….Above, a good example of how a White Wing Collar Shirt can give a fall look a lift is the DARK UMBER FAUX SUEDE JACKET, A279526, with the DARK UMBER LINEA BODY LEGGING, A260034. I have chose some simple, but impressive accessories. The DEMI HOOP earring in CHOCOLATE, an umber calf belt and a NEW SLIDE NECKLACE due in November in time for Holiday presents. The slide necklace above is in CHOCOLATE METAL with a REAL TIGER EYE LARGE DROP!! It’s so new I do’t even have the style number yet! I will scour the QVC shoe sites to pick just the right boot to complete the look…………………Don’t underestimate the POWER OF A GREAT WHITE WING COLLAR SHIRT!…………………………………enjoy…………………………much Love…………………………..Louis

      Dear Cathy, I appreciate you wanting me to have more air time, and that would be great, but there are many things at play that I am not able to discuss, also I am not an in-house brand which get, as you would understand, priority.

      Once again, I have misplaced my comment. Should have gone under Louis’s response to queendiva’s request for a sleeveless wing-collared shirt. Can you guess that I am sleep-deprived?

    Nothing more classic than the white wing collar shirt. Would love to see this as a sleeveless shirt in the future. Layering a long sleeve under a jacket or WK cardigan just does not work for me.

      It’s coming for next spring….fingers crossed

        I’ve been wanting a sleeveless Robyn, but I’m all in for a sleeveless wing collar! Thanks, Louis. Also, besides the gold/carnelian and the chocolate/tiger eye, are there any other combinations coming in the new slide/drop necklace?

        There you go, reading my mind-again!
        Thanks and crossing my fingers, too.
