Differences between the President, Soft Ivy, and Colorado Button Down Collars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Soft Ivy Button Down and President Button Down are taller button down collar styles. They both have some “roll” to them, that trademark bowing of the collar point. The President Button Down, however, is fused and features just a bit of roll for a sharp, professional appearance. The Soft Ivy, on the other hand, features a lot of roll and a soft, unfused construction for a decidedly more casual look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Colorado Button Down also features a soft, unfused construction for a relaxed appearance. The Colorado is perfect for casual wear, as it’s smaller in size the President and Soft, and features a button on the back to hold it firmly in place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
