Description: | tailors label, woven, Wallace Newcastle on Tyne
In the 1930s men would wear a black tailcoat suit for formal dress. A white dress shirt, like this one, would be worn with the suit. The front panel of the cotton shirt would be stiffened with starch. In this period shirts were still collar-less and a separate stiffened collar would be attached. For formal wear, a winged collar was worn. It had pointed turned down tabs and was worn with a bow tie.
