Collar ID: The Spread

Welcome to Collar ID. This week we’re going to visit the history and the style of the spread collar.

If you find yourself in any situation that requires a formal dress code—whether for a wedding, a funeral, or daily business—consider the spread collar a go-to.

Just like its name implies, the ends of this collar spread away from the face. This effect creates a larger space for your tie to inhabit. Think of it as a stage to show off your wider, more substantial tie knots.

The spread collar also has a widening effect on the face, making it a great compliment to those with long or narrow faces.
