A light blue high collar dress shirt with French cuffs, cut from 100% luxury Giza cotton in a fine herringbone weave. The collar stands on a tall 2.25-inch band closed with three buttons, and its 4.25-inch points frame a tie knot and sit above the lapels of a suit. French cuffs finish the sleeves for cufflinks. Every shirt is custom made to your measurements.
Why choose a high collar shirt with French cuffs?
A high collar and French cuffs are the two details that make a dress shirt look most formal. The tall collar stays upright all day and keeps your tie knot neat under a jacket. French cuffs fold back and close with cufflinks, which adds a polished finish for weddings, black tie optional events and important meetings. Together they give a classic, tailored look that a standard business shirt cannot match.
The collar: tall, three-button and built to stand
Most dress shirts have a collar band of about 1.25 inches. This shirt has a 2.25-inch band, almost twice as tall, closed with three buttons so the collar stays upright with or without a tie. The 4.25-inch collar points are long enough to frame a fuller knot. A taller band also suits men with a long or large neck who find standard collars sit too low.
Light blue herringbone Giza cotton
Herringbone is a twill weave that forms small V-shaped rows, like the bones of a fish. From a distance this shirt reads as a soft, solid light blue. Up close the zigzag texture adds depth and a gentle sheen, so it looks richer than a plain poplin. Light blue is one of the easiest shirt colors to wear, and it flatters most skin tones.
How to wear a light blue high collar shirt

Frequently asked questions
What is a high collar dress shirt?
It is a dress shirt with a taller collar band than usual. On this shirt the band is 2.25 inches, compared with about 1.25 inches on a standard shirt, so the collar stands higher around the neck.
Do French cuffs need cufflinks?
Yes. French cuffs fold back and close with cufflinks. Cufflinks are not included with this shirt.
Is a light blue shirt good for a wedding?
Yes. Light blue looks fresh in daylight photos and pairs well with navy, grey and tan suits, which makes it a popular choice for grooms, groomsmen and guests.

Herringbone is a twill weave with a fine V-shaped pattern. In shirting it gives a subtle texture that still reads as a solid color from a distance.
