What about that style of collar?

Re: What about that style of collar?
I've never read Pepper's Straight Life. He was some junky genius and relegates Chet to a crooner for girly tarts. I've got The Complete Village Vanguard Sessions, from '77, he never slept for 6 or 7 days, just hitting the H and snorting coke and working on the arrangements for the next show. Excellent versions of The Trip and Over The Rainbow. His voice gradually deteriorates over each night.
I would like to read a good biography on Mulligan or Evans. Read all the Chet and Miles ones. One of the best is Miles to Go by his road manager, a degenerate coke fiend called Chris Murphy, its the '70's and early '80's, filled to the brim of genius burning out on bad clothing and bags of coke.

Re: What about that style of collar?
Thanks! This picture is way better... It looks like what I thought it was, but I've never seen something like this before...
Russell Street has christened it a "latched Eckstine collar", and it must be a variation of the kind of roll collars Billy Eckstine would wear, hence known as "Mr B collars" in the 1950s. Only the Eckstine shirts didn't have that latch....

Re: What about that style of collar?
Are we certain that Eric Glennie didn't design that collar?
