Type 469 Flipped Collar Shirt is a short-sleeve version of the Tender 468 shirt. It combines different elements of previous Tender shirts: the front placket is reversed like the Butterfly shirt with two large centre pockets at a comfortable hand height; while the back is shaped with a single large asymmetrical pleat like the Millwheel shirt. The collar is cut from the same pattern but is flipped upside down and the long side (not the short side) is sewn into the neck of the shirt. The collar grows directly from the placket then slopes back to a seamed edge - whereas the point collar would normally sit just above the front edge of the shirt. There’s an extra button and buttonhole in the centre so the collar can be worn close to the neck. This 469 Tender shirt is crafted from Handkerchief Check, a very fine cotton twill woven with a large check in bands of indigo cotton and natural brown linen. The square of the check would form the border for a handkerchief if it was cut up and hemmed. The grid is cut randomly across the shirt panels, so each piece is unique. Dyed in Hadal Blue, it’s part of Tender’s ‘Leaving Town’ collection, the last full collection to be made in England.
