Bond style shirt

I'm off to a wedding soon (not that wedding 
) and am looking for a new shirt for the occasion. I have some from Anthony Sinclair with their standard cutaway collar but am looking for a white shirt with a different collar - more like those seen in QoS as per the pictures below - where the collar is larger, the point sits lower and under the suit lapel. The wedding is only 3 weeks away so made to measure isn't an option really. Could anyone point me to an appropriate source please?
Thanks in advance!

They have other colors and cuff styles too.
I wanted a white shirt for a wedding 3 weeks away. Went in to the T&A Jermyn Street store to try on the 'Connery Bond' shirt - but the cut was far too 'baggy' for me.
It was too short notice for a MTM, but they were able to tailor a stock shirt in the time available, including cuffs (cocktail of course!) and collar style. The label on my shirt states 'Stock Special'. Took 2 weeks from measuring to delivery.
It's awesome - and so good I ordered another one in blue!
Can't remember the name of the guy who looked after me (it may have been Alan????), but he was dressed 'old school', despite not being 'that old'! However, I think if you are 'nice' enough to any of them, they will do everything they can to get things turned around in time for you. Very, very impressed with the whole experience and would definitely do it again.
I matched it with navy grenadine tie and a light grey, almost silver, 3-piece suit and my C&J Highbury's. Lots and lots of unsolicited comments - with a lot of people mentioning the 'Bond' look without me even having to hint....
Will post a picture should I ever get any from the 'happy couple'....!
I got to reading about shirt collar styles and so on Bondsuits which was really informative - based on that I'll try a 'semi-spread' collar and see if it suits me. One thing I have learned is that it's better to wear what suits the individual rather than wearing something because it's in fashion or worn by someone else
