Abstract

A shirt construction with a wing type collar is disclosed, having first and second strips of material secured to the neck band beneath the collar on opposite sides of the frontal opening. A third strip of material is pivotally attached to the first strip and has a surface of a hook or a pile type material, the first and second strips being of the other type. The size and arrangement of the strips is such that the third strip may be superposed with and releasably adhered to the opposing surface of the first strip, concealed beneath the collar when the latter is worn in the open condition, or turned 180.degree. about its pivotal mounting to extend across the frontal opening and adhered to the opposing surface of the second strip to close the frontal opening in the collar area at a desired width between a predetermined maximum and minimum. The collar fold defining the neck opening is preferably higher than the portion of the neck band between the collar wings so that a necktie may be worn with the upper edge of the knot somewhat below the collar fold without exposing the neck band.
