This might be useful. But it's actually pretty simple. Best is to grab a book by Alan Flusser. He talks about shirt collars in length. Short version: 1. Long neck - tall collars, short neck - short collars. 2. Narrow face - wide collars, wide face - pointy collars. 3. Big head - big collars, small head - small collars. 4. Suit - collars long enough to be under said suit's lapels. It's all about proportions, really.

Your x-ref is very helpful and somewhat supports my view that too much weight is typically given to rule #2. In fact, I would almost say that if Flusser says it, stay away...

I don't see a collar as I'm distracted by the cartonish 80's hair!Originally Posted by Patek
I'd say I'm sorry for your jealousy but I'm not. Bet you don't even do 1000 crunches in the morning. I use an ice pack on my face while doing them if my face looks a little puffy.
