Types 468 and 469 Flipped Collar Shirts are long and short-sleeved versions
of a new style, amalgamated of different elements from previous Tender
shirts. The front placket is reversed and sewn down on the outside, like the
Butterfly Shirt, trapping two large centre pockets low down at a comfortable
hand height. The back is shaped with a single large asymmetrical pleat like the
Millwheel shirt, and the collar is cut from the same pattern. However the
collar panel, once cut, is flipped upside down and the long side, not the short
side, is sewn into the neck of the shirt.
As the point of the collar would normally sit just above the front edge of the
shirt, here the collar grows directly from the placket, then slopes back to a
seamed edge. An extra button and buttonhole is added in the centre of the
collar so that it can be done up close to the neck.
Airbag Cambric is a split-face fabric, woven double and crossing faces in a
regular grid pattern, forming pockets in the cloth. It is the same technique
used for car airbags.
