Spear point collar shirts

[Cobden]

I have feeling it may have been a case of "take a pukka one to a factory and let them copy it" and pretty much made a modern shirt with the only differences being the things they noticed!

Cuffs look far too wide too, and the tails are too short and start too low down, too

Shirt with detachable Spearpoint and Club collars: Even without attaching a collar, it can be worn as a Mandarin Collar shirt.




Try as I may I can't seem to find the detachable collars on the Luxaire site, can anyone post the link please?

I love the variety in this shot. Much as I love a nice spearpoint, it somehow feels as if people (not pointing fingers on this board, I mean more generally than that) think it was the only collar style that existed back when. Noticed that in Foyle's War last night - everyone one of the buggers seemed to be wearing the same damn Darcy shirt! Lovely shirt, but variety, please!

Tell you what, though.... if Charles Tyrwhitt would do a spearpoint on their classic cut shirts, I don't know that I'd feel the need to go anywhere else again!

 

[Feraud]

Yes, American catalogs from the era show a good variety of collar shapes.

It's a custom job. Just write them a email or use the blank spaces in the ordering form.

About the variety in collars: I think no one claimed the long spearpoint was the only collar. But it is one of the coolest for sure.

The curve is more important to me than the length.

That is the best way for any request of any kind.

Still, the question inspired me to create this page.

I also like the fabrics and pullover style of the Aero shirts. Collar could be better.


Dinerman is selling a great spearpoint collar silk shirt right now. THIS is a good collar.

Despite all the talk here about these shirts, my original only went for $22. The classic cut in great shape in of the most expensive materials on the market at the time. In this material, it sold for roughly half that in the 1930s. Really shocking and disappointing.

That is a surprise. Any thoughts on why the price stayed so low? What size was the shirt?

dress shirts don't get anything like the money of workwear / chambray shirts.
a few brilliant 1920s detachable collar shirts were re-listed, unsold not long ago; probably because people are much more picky about collar sizing (and any imperfections) when it come to dress shirts.

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

I suspect it was the sheer silk. It's not manly enough for people who constantly worry about their manliness. The collar size was big enough.

 

[Tomasso]

Also, silk shirts are high maintenance.

Two more from Luxire. These were a birthday present from my wife:

After procrastinating about getting some spearpoint shirts made by Luxire, and fed up of waiting for Angel to get their versions back in stock in my desired size/colour, I plumped for two by Adam of London, and they're very nice... I was up in 'the London' over the weekend and needed to go to Portobello to nab a copy of the Yazoo records double vinyl Memphis Jug Band reissue, so I popped into Adam, which is primarily a 'mod' outfitters but does spearpoint shirts (plus also both spearpoint and 'giraffe' tab collared shirts!) to check them out – what appeared to be a rather stiff collar in the pic shown below was revealed as actually rather soft, with removable 'bones', and they have 'French' cuffs but no pockets... I nabbed the white and cream variations and they're quite nice, although larger FLers should be warned that they come ready darted and with the rear box seam sewn – I took a seam ripper to 'em so they now have a 'regular' fit and the thread holes should disappear in the wash... at £50 per shirt they're quite expensive, and I daresay that Luxire offer heavier / better quality cottons, but they should wash and wear very well, indeed and I had the benefit of being able to 'try before buying'... if you're in 'the London', check 'em out, they have a wide range of colours ("Black, Brown, Ivory, Pink, Dusky Pink, Royal Blue, Sky Blue, Navy Blue, White, Lilac and Various Stripes.")...

Luxire spear point collars

Two more from Luxire. These were a birthday present from my wife:

What is the length of those points? I would guess around 4 1/2"? I was thinking of starting off conservative, maybe around 4". Also, what is the width of the collar around the back?
