The traditional way to display a shirt for a well dressed Gentleman is to show 1/2 an inch of the collar at the back of the jacket and cuffs are exposed ½ an inch to ¾ of an inch below the jacket sleeve, protecting the fine wool against the body oils.

The collar size should allow comfortable breathing and swallowing at all times and it is commonly advised to be loose enough to have room for two fingers between the buttoned shirt collar and the throat. There should be no gap at the back, side or front of the neck, which asks for a custom shaped neck hole.

The buttoned cuff, called sports cuff, seems fit for more casual and informal events, the double cuff, known as ‘French cuff’ is the formal way to style a shirt for business, black tie events and weddings alike, lately also fashionable with denim jeans and boots.
