I have ordered custom shirts before, and like the ability to choose all the details I want. A few years ago, I ordered a couple from shirtsmyway.com with extra length at the bottom for wearing with the kilt. They had quite a lot of options. But there's one detail that I don't see anyone offering, and I wonder if anyone here has a source for custom-ordered shirts that would include this option. It has to do with collar height.
I suppose I'm one of those people who has a shorter than average neck. A regular shirt with a standard collar, when buttoned up, chafes the back of my neck because my hairline comes down below the collar. And the front chafes the portion of my neck that I shave below my beard (this is unavoidable to some degree). I would really like to have a shirt with a lower-profile collar, though, to minimise chafing. I like to wear "skinny ties" because they suit my body size/shape better anyway, so I don't need all that extra collar height to accommodate a wider tie.
Even a 1/4" reduction in collar height would make a huge difference in comfort and aesthetics to me. Is there any company out there who does made-to-order shirts that might offer this? I don't want to have to go to a full-blown bespoke shirt just for this.
