Front Placket
Description
The front placket is the most common and widely recognized shirt placket, known for its structured, business-like appearance. The placket fabric is folded back outward and stitched to the shirt body, though it can also be designed with a separate piece of fabric to achieve the same polished look. This classic construction adds a touch of formality, making it a preferred choice for dress shirts and professional attire.
