    Spear point collar shirts

    Hmmm come to think of it I'm not sure mine are actually 'starchable'. I'm assuming the same process applies though. It perhaps means that if you were wearing the same collar days in a row (which I understand was usually the case), then you could just loosen your tie and lift the whole thing over...

    Thread to display you collarless/tunic/Grandad shirts

    Please do! What I've posted is pretty much my whole collection but I love seeing them! I think it could be a useful resource too :) I don't suppose you know anything about that 'Chriftofstal' I posted? D'you think 1920s? Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

    Spear point collar shirts

    The strap, I think, is to do with the difficulty of getting a tie on a starched collar. You loop it through the straps before you put the collar on, turn down the collar, and then attach it to your shirt. It cuts out the difficulty of turning down a starched collar when it's around your neck. If...

    Spear point collar shirts

    Here's a couple of mine folks. Fairly reserved by this Thread's standards, but seem to have a lot of work gone into them. 'Dare and Dolphin Ltd.', with the label unfortunately destroyed. I have a duplicate of this presumably from the same fellow. 3" point. Rather complicated construction. Is...

    Thread to display you collarless/tunic/Grandad shirts

    Continued... Here is a view of all the cloths up close: Bonus round: A really old (I'd say the oldest I've got) pullover workshirt, with attached collar. It has single cuffs, the buttons look really old, and the label doesn't give much away - 'Chriftofstal'. Ir at least i think that's...

    Thread to display you collarless/tunic/Grandad shirts

    Continued... Here are two 'Old England' shirts that i picked from from the Viyella factory shop years ago. It was notorious for having deadstock knocking about from decades back. I also have another of the second one. They were £5 each! They are of very fine cotton, have bib-fronts, and button...

    Thread to display you collarless/tunic/Grandad shirts

    Hello all, I was assured by some that such a thread doesn't exist, so I'll make one! What we're talking about here are shirts that are meant to be worn with a separate, detachable collar. Other features include bib-fronts, pullover (doesn't button all the way down), butterfly hems at the...

    That is lovely TT. There's no shame in paying a bit more for something that you really like! You just don't get the rush of a bargain ;)

    1939. A typical local add for Tootals, that I've seen a lot of. 1939.

    While doing my research into hospitals, I have come across a few pics of people from back in the era. I don't come across as many pictures of people as I would like - it's usually old surgical equipment or photos of spooky old hospital wards. This, from Babington Hospital, Belper, c.1950s...

    Thanks Dh66. It does have a different texture to usual silk ties. I struggle to wear it though - I always feel mostly-black ties are a little too funereal.
