UNTAB IT........




The Tab collar is a cousin of the pin collar- both secure the pointed collar beneath the tie knot. This type of collar was popular in the 1920s and 30s, and again in the 1950s among Frank Sinatra and others. Today it's back again by those who wanna show that they know fashion-history, the only difference...they don't button it!
