I can't find this type of collar anywhere - any MTM stores have this?

I can't find any collar that is that high up and stays folded like that all day long. The guy in the picture is Scott Disick and in all of his dress shirts the collars seem to stay folded down no matter what he's doing, and I just can't find a collar that replicates that:

I definitely don't think normal collars (the ones I have) stay that folded throughout the day?

It's a larger collar..not sure what to think? Is it similar to anything Proper Cloth sells? Is it fused? Interlined?

Thanks!

There is nothing special about the shirt collar you posted a picture of.
It appears to be a semi-spread collar.

Assuming you are not wearing a cheaply made shirt, and it is 100% high quality cotton, it is not difficult to get the results you want.

To make it wrap around the neck, and stand up, do the following:

Make sure the shirt has been professionally laundered with heavy starch.
Use only high quality metal collar stays
When you first put the shirt on, button the top button, and wear it that way for 15 minutes
This will make the collar conform to your neck
When you unbutton the collar, you will see the desired result you want.

Is there anyway without starch? Is this a fused collar or unfused? I'm trying to match up the most likely collar on proper cloth's website...any ideas? http://propercloth.com/collar-styles

Seriously...why do you feel you have to go MTM to get this?!

ANY shirt with a stiff collar and collar stays will fit like that, from a £20 TM Lewin shirt to a £300 Kiton...

I'm angry I'm even responding here because this thread is silly!

They don't have high enough collars to have them fold like that without any assistance

OK, mate, go bespoke, but it'll be a complete waste of money...

If you feel that those $20 shirts really offer the high enough collar to not have "floating collar" then please post some pictures..I'm here to consider it for sure as I don't want to spend the money on bespoke, but I personally have tried Charles Tyrwhitt collars and they float...so I'm not sure what you're saying when it's clearly a high collar that isn't available by most companies

Apart from being 2 button, and thus slightly taller in the band, I don't see anything special about these either. If that's what you want, I'd suggest rolling the dice with Luxire. You could request heavy fusing in the collar band if you really want it to stand rigid. I think the collars themselves are just run of the mill fused spreads, but maybe with a lighter interlining as they do curve somewhat. The plackets appear to vary, in that some look stiff with gravity taking it's toll, while others are floppy and just lightly lined (if at all). A word of caution though - this could make ironing the plackets a pain. Another word of caution - this could look very douchey.

What are you getting at, man? You've got three people already answering your question with very useful suggestions.

The ones who suggest that I go to Charles Tyrwhitt? Dude those people don't know anything about the brands they are even suggesting if they are saying that because I have multiple CT shirts and none are high enough to have this effect. I'm looking for MTM companies that offer collar customization types that would have this effect

I feel like pictures of George Clooney with this look would have been more appropriate than Scott Disik.

You could also try bending the metal collar stays that come with the ct shirts, that should work as well. There should be several simple ways to achieve the desired result, without going mtm or bespoke. However, I need you to know that I am seriously concerned that you are trying to emulate Scott Disik.
