Compact yarn allows many more threads per inch, allowing a cloth to exhibit maximum color and still be lightweight and wonderful to touch. The Franco Collar embodies a new and more clean way for a dress shirt to look. The collar is stitched with a beautiful 1/8' Stitch, halfway between the classic 1/4" and the fashion edge. The front is made with a "french" or plain front, without placket. the result is to have a dress shirt whose look is most compatible to the clothing of today with a simpler, lighter expression.
