Marc Chevalier said:They're based on chinstrap shirts from the first 2 decades of the 20th century. Workshirts from, say, 1918 had square-shaped collars whose points formed 90 degree angles.

They are basically Ben Davis knockoffs, but with the cut of a pair of Frisko Jeens, with a higher waist and wide legs (hence the tagline, "The Real OG Frisko").
