Another style of, or type of opening, our collar would be the Handkerchief Caplet, and
this one, I have indicated, has a clean finish. You'll remember "clean finish", anytime I
say that or note that anywhere, "clean finish" means there's no visible seam lines, there's
no visible stitching. How you manage doing that in reality is by having the same thing
on the outside on the inside. You have another piece of fabric that mirrors what is shown,
but it's folded in on itself. You stitch it right side to right side along this line and
along this line, then you take and you fold wrong side to wrong side so that you have
the outside of it facing out and the inside of it facing in, and you can't see the stitching
right there. And it also gives a clean finish because it prevents any fraying as opposed
to just leaving it open like that. And the handkerchief aspect of it is in all of its
folds, it's like a kerchief, basically, and that's where the pointed parts come in. It
just has more bunch than an actual technical Caplet.
