I came to think of this watcing you post, and it became even more obvious if one zoom in on your shirt front, as the placket has been very badly laundered/ironed, leaving it full of "bumps"!

Tell your laundress to stretch the placket with one hand, and press with the other - problem solved!

Your cuffs are always very nicely done by the way :-)

I've often had this thought about the origin of the tie, and especially of its evolution from collar-closing strip of silk to vertical element as the design of jackets became more open and the placket was exposed. Despite my much-derided opinions on contrast and rule-breaking, I've always hated exposed plackets. I'd suggest a light cashmere or merino sweater with a bow tie.

And I always tell my laundress to stretch the placket, but she informs me that referring to her as "my laundress" will result in divorce proceedings.
