Popover placket
Description
This sporty and informal placket style is commonly found on casual shirts, offering a relaxed yet stylish look. The fabric is folded back to create a front placket appearance, but with a shorter length featuring only three buttons. Designed for ease and comfort, this placket allows the shirt to be effortlessly slipped over the head before fastening the buttons, making it a practical choice for laid-back, everyday wear.
