Collar - Cloth Collar

Collars are neckbands attached to the neckline of a shirt. Removable collars were invented in 1827 by Hannah Lord Montague (1794 - 1878) of Troy, New York. They fastened either at the front and back of a shirt with a collar stud on a shank that slips through two small eyelets on a collar. They became popular money-saving items when clothing was custom-sewn and expensive.

Collars detached from the body of shirts for laundering separately, which extended the life of the shirt. Even after shirts became mass-manufactured, removable collars remained popular. They were a common part of men's, and some women's, wardrobes into the 1930s. These are by far the most comfortable removable collars available, allowing the wearer to press and starch to taste.
