White Ritz Wing Collar Shirt

If you’ve ever sought the authentic English evening shirt, your quest is over. Equally, if you’ve ever wondered which shirts are worn by conductors and characters in period dramas, you need wonder no more! The Ritz shirt with wing collar is a classic stiff-fronted, full bib shirt. The bib is made using pure cotton piquet (known as Marcella), which is stiffened. The shirt features several ingenious details. For example, to ease the insertion of dress studs (when your butler is away), there is a concealed, hemmed opening on the left side of the shirt (as worn), which enables the wearer to pass their hand through to the inside and secure the said studs with ease. It also has a loop of cotton at the base of the bib which can be attached to a loop in your evening trouser waistband, to prevent the shirt bib from riding up in wear.

Caring for your New & Lingwood Shirt

• Before washing be sure to undo all buttons, to alleviate the strain on the button stitching. Remember to remove the collar stiffeners.
• Turn your shirt inside-out to protect buttons from chipping and to allow the cleaning agents direct access to underarms stains. 
• Shirts should generally be washed at 40 degrees Celsius, but check the individual product labels for washing instructions that may differ from this. 
• Line dry or dry in an airing cupboard. Do not tumble dry as this tends to wear out the points of the collar and cuffs. 
• Iron shirts whilst still slightly damp for best results. Be sure to use the ‘cotton’ setting found on most irons. 
• Once ironed, hang on a good quality hanger with the top button fastened and leave to air. 
• If possible, keep shirts hung in a wardrobe with a little space between each to minimise any further creasing whilst in storage.
