Dress Shirt Placket Bump<\/p><\/div>\n
Potential Solutions<\/h2>\n
It’s difficult to say exactly what causes this in all cases, but some adjustments that have worked in the past include:<\/p>\n
1 – Wear a tie<\/strong><\/h2>\nFor 95% of these cases, this problem solves itself when a necktie is worn. Since the necktie pulls the collar band up tight to the neck, it also pulls the placket tight and reduces any weird gaping or bumping.<\/p>\n
2 – Wash and press the shirt<\/strong><\/h2>\nIf the problem persists, even when you’re wearing a tie, we usually suggest giving the shirt a wash\/press. We often see this issue go away once the shirt isn’t fresh-out-of-the-box new. There are two potential reasons for this: (1) It’s possible that some tension on the threads or fusing of the placket are causing it to want to curve. A good wash or two will often help straighten this out. (2) In some cases, if the collar is a little loose around your neck to begin with, and then it is pulled tight with a tie, the tie can cause the collar band to become out of alignment. A wash or two of the shirt allows the collar to shrink down to its target size and reduces this problem.<\/p>\n
3 – Raise the Top Button Placement<\/strong><\/h2>\nRaising the position of the top button (below the collar) will also help eliminate the placket bump. Try raising the button 1\/2″ to 1″ to decrease the gap between the top button and the collar band. Tips and more information about Top Button Placement options.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n4 – Increase the Shoulder Width<\/strong><\/h2>\nIf the Shoulder Width of the shirt is too narrow it can cause the ends of the shoulders to pull the shirt out at the sides and make the placket bump out. A bump in the placket is not a reason in itself to widen the shoulders, but in this case it is worth considering if you have the correct Shoulder Width<\/a>.<\/p>\n5 – Increase the Chest Width<\/strong><\/h2>\nIf the chest is too tight on a shirt, it can cause pulling and tension along the front buttons. Increasing the Chest Width or adding a Chest Forward adjustment can improve how the chest of the shirt drapes, potentially reducing tension below the collarband. Again, a bump in the placket is not a reason in itself to widen the Chest Width or apply a\u00a0Chest Forward adjustment<\/u><\/a><\/span>, but it is worth considering whether the Chest Width fits correctly<\/u><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n6 – <\/strong>Consider a Shoulder Slope or Neck Posture Adjustment<\/b><\/h2>\n\u200b<\/span>\u200b<\/span>If the Shoulder Slope\u00a0or Neck Posture setting\u00a0of the shirt\u00a0is\u00a0not\u00a0optimized\u00a0for\u00a0your\u00a0build,\u00a0causing the collarband to sit incorrectly,\u00a0this can\u00a0create\u00a0a placket bump.<\/p>\n\u200b<\/span>\u200b<\/span>While\u00a0a placket bump\u00a0alone\u00a0is not reason to adjust the\u00a0<\/u>Shoulder Slope<\/u><\/a><\/span>\u00a0or\u00a0Neck Posture<\/u><\/a><\/span>, it is worth considering\u00a0whether one of these changes could improve the fit of the shirt overall.<\/p>\n7 – Change the collar style or fabric<\/strong><\/h2>\n\u200b<\/span>\u200b<\/span>If all else fails, perhaps the shape of the collar you\u2019ve chosen is just not agreeing with the shape of your neck and shoulders. The design details of the shirt can also contribute to this issue. A shirt designed with a large fused collar, made from a lightweight fabric, with no front placket to support the more substantial collar, can cause the front of the shirt to buckle.
