I do not, but I can certainly try to take one sometime soon and include it in an upcoming piece.

Stephen,

Do you have any photos of the Mercer BD collar opened and spread (as if you were wearing it without a tie)? I’ve never actually seen the collar roll without the top button being buttoned, either worn with a tie or professionally folded.

That’s the Regent collar alright! RL advertises it as a “Medium-spread with a higher stance.” Great option if one is hesitant to get a custom shirt.

I completely agree – not sure what collars my Polo shirts have, but I do have a few with a nice high spread collar.

I really agree with above analysis. A really great Off-the-Rack collar is the Polo Regent collar. Its a noticeable spread, but not to the dramatic levels of the cutaway discussed above. Yet the collar band is cut about 1/3 wider than normal collar bands so its sits up higher on the neck. A rare feature in OTR shirts, and a great alternative for something that is a bit different than your average spread, yet not so obvious as a cutaway.
