The Spread Collar dress shirt, also know as a wide collar dress shirt, is a versatile collar style and a nice change from the traditional collars dress shirts typically have. As the name suggests, the biggest difference is the gap between collar points. Spread collars are great for wardrobe diversity, and can generally be paired with Half-Windsor, or Windsor knots when worn with a tie. We encourage men to have a variety of collar options like the traditional Point Collar, or more casual styles like the Button-Down collar.

Additionally, it's great for anyone looking for a collar with a little more modern flare.
