What collar size do I actually have and which shirt collar suits me?


Because shirts are simply part of good style and many men wear them to work every day, it is important to know your collar size. After all, wearing a shirt should be as comfortable as possible and the collar should neither constrict nor be too loose. We shirt and blouse ironers tell you how to determine the right collar size. You need a measuring tape, which you place around the neck or Adam's apple so that there is still room for a finger between them. This space is very important, because otherwise the shirt collar constricts us too much when we breathe and swallow. The measured neck circumference is the collar size of your shirt in centimetres. The right size has now been clarified, now you just have to choose the right collar shape. If you think you can't go wrong with the collar shape, you're wrong. We from the ironing machine team will tell you what to look out for.

The so-called shark collar suits men with narrow faces best, because it is wide with a wide opening angle or very spread collar legs. We shirt and blouse ironers find that such collars go best with thick tie knots.

Long, narrow collars, on the other hand, look better on fuller men because they visually lengthen the neck. Especially if you have a pronounced chin, you should pay attention to narrow collar legs and ties.

The tab collar conceals a long neck, whether it is round or square. So-called tab-collar shirts are closed behind the tie knot with a press stud. You always wear a narrowly tied tie knot with it.

Very popular with us in the shirt ironing team are shirts with Kent collars, because these actually suit every man due to the medium spread of the collar legs.
