The Mayfair Collar

One of our stock pattern collars is a cutaway very similar to Italian collars such as those favoured by Finnamore. The collar style has a large amount of elegance and style about it and looks excellent with a four-in-hand knot (we do not recommend using the windsor or half-windsor, ever!).

The image shown is of a recent shirt that we made sometime ago for client who decided that he actually prefers a Mayfair collar to the original collar he chose. The shirt shown is the result of the Mayfair being 'grafted' onto his bespoke shirt.

The fabric used for the shirt, for those interested in these matters, is an Alumo Supraluxe 120s cotton which sells for £140 per shirt.

Shirt in profile

I recently made this shirt for a client from Oxford. He has had quite a number of shirts made to date but this is my favourite of all the shirts we have made for him.

The fabric used is from the Thomas Mason Silverline range and is a 120s 2-ply cotton fabric in a micro-check pattern.

The collar was designed by the client to suit his own requirements and is a nice cutaway, less dramatic than a full cutaway.
