Here we have what is called a semi notched collar with a plain finish. Now, I have been
very focused on telling you what notches are, a semi notched collar, is exhibited through
the lapel, having that indentation, but this line right there of the lapel, curves, it's
not straight. If it were straight, then it would be a notched collar, point blank, you've
seen that, a notched collar. This is a semi notched collar, which means it starts out
trying to be a notched collar, this part is the same, this part is the same, but then
when it gets here it says "I want to be different," so it curves and creates a soft lapel, as
opposed to, the pointyness of the regular lapel. Therefore, you can't call this a notch,
otherwise, you'd be a liar because this is not a notch, it's a semi notch, it's half
a notch, basically. The clean finished part of it means that it's faced and lined and
there's no visible seaming here.
