What style of collar is this?
It's a neckband shirt and has a stud at the front and one at the back to take a separate collar (often, but not necessarily, stiff). Some firms call these shirts 'tunic shirts' but a tunic shirt is really one that has a tunic front, that is a solid panel below the first four or five buttons. You need a collar 1/2" larger than your normal collar size to go over the neckband.

Ahh, that would explain why I've seen the style on only a few period photographs. And of course, a bohemian like van Gogh would not always care to wear it with the collar attached. Thank you.
