My quest for the perfect white shirt

I am looking for the perfect, QoS kind-of high collar white shirt - but not Tom Ford.
I tried Ralph Lauren (Black, Polo, Purple) but they are a bit weird. I had a Gucci one which is good but not exactly the same collar. I was lucky to find a YSL which is really nice, but it's long since discontinued.
I was going to try Hilditch and Key next. From the pictures on their website, Turnbull and Asser's collars are a bit too flat, not high enough.
Do you guys have ideas?
It would be nice if the shirt is not made in China. Good quality and provenance is important.

If you can't trust a Swiss banker, what's the world come to?

Even Tom Ford I just do not know the model ...

Pay attention 007!
Good Luck!
I have one the same style as in QoS and it's my favourite white shirt. It does have a beautiful collar shape....and a few other nice details in the construction that shout quality - not cheap of course!
I've owned shirts from just about all of the shirtmakers on Jermyn St., some off the shelf and some made to measure; none of them have a collar that's really close to the TF.
Way too expensive, but I think that it looks like the collar is somewhat high, like the TF one.
