The collar is the argument. Cut long and sharply pointed, it reaches almost to the shoulder seam - a proportion borrowed from the seventies and almost never made this well since.
Everything else is built to support it. The shoulders are lightly structured so the collar has something square to sit on, the placket is left open at the top so the points fall apart rather than closing at the throat, and the cuffs are deep enough to turn back over a jacket sleeve. The organic cotton is a firm poplin that holds a crease rather than softening into one.
Worn with the collar out over a blazer it does the entire job of the outfit, which is a lot to ask of a white shirt.
