That's a "modified spread" or "semi-spread" collar with long blades. It came into wide popularity in the later 1940s as an element of the "Bold Look" in men's suits and accessories. Variations of this collar are often seen in gabardine sport shirts of the era.
My rough guess is that Costello's collar is about 4.5 inches long.
