I'm curious about the Duke of York collar.  What is the length of the collar?  What angle does the collar make?  How far apart are the collar points?

I bought a shirt a while ago by a shirtmaker with a 3 inch collar that makes a 90 degree angle.  The collar points are about 4.5 inches apart.  The company stopped making shirts.  I hope the Duke of York can fill the void.

Best.

Hi,

The Duke of York shirt has a lead edge (length of the collar) of 8cm and a collar spread (distance between the points) of 13 cm, and the angle the collar produces is close to 90 degrees. So I think the Duke of York would be a good selection for you.

Do you mind me asking where you were previously find your shirts?

I got the shirt from H&M.  They still make dress shirts, just not in this particular style.

It's hard to get a sense of collar profiles when the shirts are not being worn by humans.  Thanks for the details.

This new blog post has me a little confused though.

Your measurements and pictures of the shirts on your site give the impression that the spread is longer than the lead edge.  The picture of the Duke of York collar in the blog post seems to suggest otherwise.  The angle in the blog post picture is much less than 90 degrees.

I think I'll give one a go the next time I buy some shirts anyway.  Thanks for you help.
