Yes, many of them are lighter weight fresco likes. Some are the 4-ply tropical, which are similar weight as the heavier frescos.

Beautiful. The VBC gray 4 plys I have are my spring/summer favorites. Glad to have more colors.

I had a custom semi-spread, unfused and very lightly lined collar made for those occasions when a tie isn't necessary, but that's still large and tall enough to wear with a jacket. Check it out:

The collar is floppier than what I'd like, but it works well with a jacket when I put metal collar stays on and starch the collar band a little bit. Since you are worried about rolling, I'd recommend going for a more rigid interlining. Order number is 36218, collar points are 10cm and collarband height is 4cm
Wow, that looks like a full spread or a cutaway collar to me.
Having a stiffer collar band is more important than the lining in the collar itself when it comes to staying up under a SC or suit. I would suggest a medium weight fused collar band and a medium weight un-fused collar lining. YMMV but I get this on all my @luxire shirts and I am happy with them.

Interesting. I'd suggest almost the opposite for @bourbonbasted's purpose: a medium, unfused collar band and a light, fused collar. That's what I get for shirts that will be worn w/ a suit, fwiw. For more casual shirts, I'd go with an unfused, even unlined collar. But I don't like fused collar bands at all. To minimize roll, I think you'd just need shorter points than usual.
