Techniques

A neckline finished by binding the raw edge with a bias strip instead of a separate facing, giving a narrow, clean edge.

A narrow band that attaches the collar to the neckline, allowing the collar to sit upright before folding over on a shirt.

A collar designed to be worn open, exposing a notch-like opening at the top button, or closed at the neck like a mandarin collar.

A tall, wide standing neckline finish that flares slightly away from the neck, often used on outerwear for warmth and style.

A short, straight standing collar that encircles the neck without folding over, named for its resemblance to Chinese formal dress.

A tailored collar and lapel combination joined at an angled seam, creating a V-shaped notch where the two pieces meet.

A flat collar with rounded, close-fitting corners that lies against the garment without standing up at the neckline.

A collar cut in one piece with the front facing, curving continuously around the back neck without a notch, typical of tuxedo jackets and cardigans.
