1920s Men's Wing Collar Shirt

Our 1920s Men's Wing Collar Shirt is a 1920s-inspired white evening shirt in the spirit of what went under a dinner jacket: folded wingtip collar, pleated bib front and French cuffs. It comes with a black pre-tied bow tie on a band, so the collar is ready the moment you button up. Build the rest of the outfit from our 1920s mens fashion.

The Wing Collar and Pleated Bib of This Formal Shirt

The collar stands up around the neck with small tips folded down, which frames the bow tie instead of hiding its band. Narrow vertical tucks run down the bib, and the buttons sit behind a fly front for a clean line under a vest. The double cuffs fold back and take cufflinks; we suggest a simple silver-tone or black pair. The fabric is a cotton-polyester broadcloth.

Sizing This 1920s Shirt Correctly

Sizes run smaller than US labels, so go by the chart on this page, which gives garment measurements rather than body ones. The chest runs from about 37.8 inches (96 cm) in S to 50.4 inches (128 cm) in 6XL. Choose a shirt chest about 1.5 to 3 inches (4 to 8 cm) larger than your body chest.
