How should a groom check the fit of a sherwani collar while seated?

Answer

Direct answer

A sherwani collar should remain comfortable when fully fastened, seated and turning the head.

Try it over the actual kurta, then look down, speak and move the neck normally. Check whether the collar edge, embroidery or inner seam presses or scratches. Ask the tailor to review the collar shape and the underlying neckline; loosening the top button is not necessarily a lasting correction. Recheck after pressing and any accessory is attached. There is no universal collar allowance that replaces a fitting on the wearer.
