Advice on front collar band height, please . . .

Hi, everyone.

A few questions regarding front collar band height for men with a tall neck.

Divij/Hemrajani typically uses a front collar band height of 1.125", which simply does not look good on me (nor probably on a lot of people). I need to increase it but am trying to decide how much to crank it up. I do not want a two-button enclosure and also don't want to look like Karl Lagerfeld. =]

-1- Ascot Chang's Web site says one of their collars has a front collar height of 1.375 inches, which they say is "slightly shorter than most Italian style collars." Does this sound accurate (i.e., that a Naples-based tailor would typically use something in the vecinity of 1.5")?

-2- What would one guess is the front collar band height here in the photo?

If it matters, I would probably be using a rear collar height of 1.875".

Thank you.

I like the shirt collar band height that you show. Height also depends on one's
comfort, which is based on one's anatomy( Duh !)

Thank you. I like it as well.
Hoping others will offer some guidance on my questions above, too. =}
