The Windsor collar, also known as the full cutaway collar, was specifically designed by Hawes & Curtis to accommodate the Duke of Windsor’s ties.

 

FIT FOR ROYALTY

Hawes & Curtis was the Duke of Windsor’s shirtmaker of choice and in December 1922, he granted the exclusive brand with its first Royal Warrant. Hawes & Curtis in turn created the famous full cutaway collar, designed specifically to accommodate the Duke of Windsor’s ties and the knot he inspired – the Windsor. The Duke’s famous Windsor knot was achieved by having Hawes & Curtis put a thick interlining in his ties to make them denser.

CLASSIC BRITISH DESIGN

Inspired by the classic British design popularised by the Duke of Windsor, the Windsor collar is nonchalant yet elegant. The collar points are angled outwards instead of pointing down and the collar is fashioned with a wide spread to accommodate a Windsor knot tie.
