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

I imagine if your shirts were too tight then you wouldn't be able to get your collar to stay upright as your shirt fabric would be pulling outwards.

However, I need you to know that I am seriously concerned that you are trying to emulate 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.
It's not only him, many people do it I just don't know what else to call it. It's seen pretty often on Tom Ford collars...

Whereabouts in the world are you? I know places like Sacoor Brothers and whatnot will make shirts with collars that are big enough to do this sort of power collar look - I've got one that does it well enough. If you have a bigger budget, I know Boggi Milano also do shirts that assist in making a similar effect.

Also maybe have a look at this: http://articlesofstyle.com/35694/the-power-collar/

That's helpful. I'm in US - anyone you know who could make this with a non-iron cloth?

Thanks!

CT is alright, but as you can tell, the collar points curl inward on most of my shirts from them. In addition, they don't go under the jacket. I'm also looking for this effect on just the shirt itself - not under a jacket

Thanks!
