I can well understand our grandfathers relief at being able to remove their studs and collar, unbutton their waistcoat and relax in a chair with their feet up at the end of a long day  .
Still part of legal wear by barristers and the like in the UK - and without a collar under a doublet by those kilted weirdos .

I wear them quite regularly with a high nylon folded collar attached, and they're quite comfortable so long as you don't wear too small a size as so many men do. Same with those who wonder how we could possibly wear a tie all the time. When I taught and administered schools, I wore a tie daily for 33 years and was never uncomfortable. I just wore a large enough collar and didn't over-tighten the tie as so many do.

This is the first time I have heard the term "tunic shirt". Does it mean the shirt has a collar like a tunic, or that the shirt is intended to be worn with a tunic?
I looked at the shirt in the link but the photo is so washed out I can't tell how the shirt is made.
Is it like the traditional shirts with detachable collars?
From time to time "banded collar" shirts come into fashion which are like the shirt pictured, but are intended to be worn as is, without attaching a collar.

It arrived yesterday - it's a detachable collar shirt (with collar included but you would need to provide your own studs) in a lightweight cotton poplin, ideal for wear under a Montrose with no collar attached. Here's hoping I'll get a chance to wear it next year - tonight is not a typical Hogmanay!
Happy New Year to all, EEM.
