The "sub-style", if you will, that is my absolute favorite, is called a "lap-front" which completely overlaps in front by about 1/2 inch, leaving no V-shaped gap. It looks more severe and restricting, but I actually find it more comfortable as one avoids getting his neck pinched by the gap! I have worn such a collar in public and people definitely notice. Periodically, I do re-enactment at a local museum which gives me another opportunity to wear it. This vintage 1890s style is my favorite of all the myriad of style available in that era.
