What does Dom Draper wear?
Spandexter's collar is more in keeping with what I picture myself in and I wonder if that's a semispread or forward point? I won't post in this thread again until I rectify the fact that none of my few shirts collar points end under the jacket [...]
... (who could enforce such a thing?)...
What matters is the geometry, not the name.

@Bill Dlwgosh OTOH, if you would post here, people can give you advice which collar to get to make the points fit under the lapels.
I'd say more than geometry, it's length, though geometry definitely plays a part. All my collars that stay under my lapels are at least 3".Whether or not the points fit under your lapels depends on the angle and length of those points, not what a particular manufacturer calls the collar. There’s no industry standard here (who could enforce such a thing?)—what one maker calls ‘semi-spread’ another might call ‘spread’ or something else entirely. These are largely marketing terms at this point, with the names proliferating over the past few years, so we now have ‘English spread’, ‘Windsor spread’, ‘American spread’, ‘Medium spread’, ‘Classic spread’, and god know what else.

Looks like Dom's wearing a point.

Huh? Length is part of geometry, as I said.

Shall we say angle v. distance?
Yes, but I meant the difference between what you two were talking about. Not all the elements involved.
