The Army used that type of collar until the 20s/30s. It was phased out and has not come back. The Navy, I believe, still has a similar collared dress uniform. I had dress blues as an enlisted Marine and they were not all that comfortable all of the time. Having finished my career in the AF I am not sure that a lot of people would necessarily like it in terms of how it feels, but it does look kinda sharp.

Yeah, the Navy has those. They're called "Chokers" and are blindingly white. Head to toe, including the shoes. They're made of 100% polyester, and couldn't be hotter if they if they plugged in like electric blankets.

You're thinking of choker whites. I can say it's a pretty sharp uniform because I never had to wear one. :)
