Arguments for a gusseted neckline<br />
There is persuasive visual evidence for a shirt with a gusseted neckline in Italy during<br />
this period; however, most of the <strong>Burgundian</strong> portraits that show the characteristic foldover<br />
are after <strong>1475</strong>. This construction could provide the flat expanse across the<br />
collarbones (beneath the top lacing) without slipping down.<br />
