The open-collar shirt rose to widespread popularity during the post-war economic boom, becoming a staple of 1950s leisure wear. Versions made from rayon fabric were particularly sought after for their lustrous sheen and fluid drape, and grew closely associated with rockabilly culture, cementing their place as a defining piece of American dress from the period.

The collar is cut without a stand, allowing it to lie flat against the chest and giving the shirt its characteristic silhouette, with a loop closure at the collar providing the option to button to the neck when preferred. The back yoke is shirred, creating a full, relaxed fit through the body. The shirt is further detailed with a full takase shell button placket and flap closure chest pockets. The rayon fabric used in this iteration has also been refined to offer greater stability during washing compared to earlier versions.
