Still referring to shirts, this is (probably) the last term. "Klassische aufgelegte Hemdenleiste mit eingelegter Falte". TIA! :-)

shirt placket
Explanation:
The panel for the buttons and buttonholes. It can be pleated, e.g. on a dress shirt to be worn with a tuxedo, which is probably the idea behind "klassische".
