Concealed Placket
A Concealed shirt placket has a flap of material on the front to conceal the buttons underneath. It is also sometimes known as the Fly Front shirt placket. It can be worn to formal events that require a tuxedo, as a fly front tends to draw attention away from the shirt to the bow tie.
