The open-collar shirt from the 1940s–50s blended utility with casual style. First introduced in the 1940s, this fold-down collar style often came with chest flap pockets. It became a go-to piece for both workwear and everyday outfits. The relaxed fit, collar without a tie, and sturdy fabric suited the practical needs of wartime. Features like wrinkle resistance and easy care also appealed to the rising middle class.
The Lot 220L shirt carries that same spirit. It features a classic open collar and a 70% cotton, 30% linen blend. The classic fit gives it structure without losing comfort. Wear it buttoned up or left open at the neck—it always looks neat and clean.
