It looks kind of like it is imitating a stiff front dress shirt with a tab on the placket. Like this shirt:</p> <p><a href="http://www.numbersixlondon.com/la-panoplie-tabac-chemise" rel="nofollow">http://www.numbersixlondon.com.....ac-chemise</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-shirt-button-flap#post-811014 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 19:27:25 +0000 Boyblue 811014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://i47.tinypic.com/ofrf50.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i47.tinypic.com/ofrf50.jpg</a></p> <p>Here is a terrible picture of it but I think it's good enough to see what I'm talking about this is the flap unbuttoned but you can see the button hole. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-shirt-button-flap#post-810988 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 18:50:57 +0000 Boyblue 810988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No that's not it, this is an extra piece of fabric sewn down the buttons that almost looks like a skinny tie that buttons into the shirt. And the very end is a half inch flap over the button that can be unbuttoned separately from the shirt and just hangs there... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-shirt-button-flap#post-810982 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 18:45:53 +0000 Anonymous 810982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm..maybe I am thinking of a different thing than you are. Do you have a picture to link to?</p> <p>Is it anything you see on this page? The fly front is what I was thinking of when you said flap.</p> <p><a href="http://ca.askmen.com/fashion/fashiontip_500/581b_the-anatomy-of-a-dress-shirt.html" rel="nofollow">http://ca.askmen.com/fashion/f.....shirt.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-shirt-button-flap#post-810974 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 18:37:50 +0000 Boyblue 810974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hhhmm maybe, the only thing I could think off is that you would button the flap in between your pants button to keep the shirt flat but the button is a half inch above my waistline... I mean third button from the bottom is pretty high up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-shirt-button-flap#post-810955 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 18:27:22 +0000 Anonymous 810955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a few shirts like this. I think it is to make it smoother for the part that tucks into your trousers so the buttons don't interfere with the waistband of the trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-shirt-button-flap#post-810923 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 18:07:08 +0000 Boyblue 810923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a Kenneth Cole reaction dress shirt online, because I had previously purchased a few shirts and liked them and wanted some different colors. However, the shirt I got has a different pattern going down the buttons ending in a weird flap three buttons up from the bottom. What is this!! </p>
