Navy, blue and white stripes in 100% luxury Giza cotton, finished with a crisp white collar and white cuffs. This striped high collar dress shirt takes the classic contrast-collar look and raises it: a tall, three-button collar band and long collar points that frame the face and hold their shape under a jacket. Each shirt is custom made to your measurements.
A high collar built to stand
The collar is the reason to choose this shirt. The band stands 2.25 inches tall, well above a standard dress shirt band of about 1.25 inches, and closes with three buttons so it stays upright and neat. The collar points (wings) measure 4.25 inches, long enough to frame a tie knot and to sit confidently above the lapels of a suit or blazer. In white against the striped body, the collar draws the eye straight to the face.
Contrast white collar and white cuffs
White collar and cuffs on a striped body is a long-standing formal detail, often called a contrast collar or "banker" shirt. Here the cuffs match the collar and fasten with three buttons each, so the shirt needs no cufflinks. A tab placket runs down the front, and the white buttons are sewn on with blue thread that picks up the blue in the stripes. The buttonholes are finished in white.
Clean back, no pocket
The back is smooth with no pleats, and there is no chest pocket, so the stripes run uninterrupted across the front. The classic curved bottom is cut to stay tucked in.
Custom made to measure
Choose a standard collar size from 14 to 21 inches and a sleeve length from 32 to 40 inches, or choose Custom and send your own measurements. The wide range of collar sizes makes it a good option if you have a large neck and struggle to find a high collar dress shirt that fits. See the size guide for how to measure.

Frequently asked questions
How tall is the collar on this shirt?
The collar band is 2.25 inches tall and the collar points are 4.25 inches long. A standard dress shirt band is about 1.25 inches.
Why does the collar have three buttons?
A tall band needs more support than one button can give. Three buttons keep the collar upright and closed neatly at the neck, with or without a tie.
Do I need cufflinks?
No. The cuffs close with three buttons each.
What is a contrast collar shirt?
It is a shirt whose collar, and often cuffs, are a different colour from the body. On this shirt both the collar and the cuffs are white against a striped body.
Can I order it in my exact size?
Yes. Choose a standard collar and sleeve size, or choose Custom and send your measurements. Follow the size guide to measure your body or a shirt that already fits you well.
