Collar

// Shreve stood in the door, putting his collar on, his glasses glinting rosily as though he had washed them with his face // (T SAF 77).

// Then I laid it face up on the table and took Mrs Bland’s letter and tore it across and dropped the pieces into the waste basket and took off my coat, vest, collar, tie, and shirt // (TSAF 172).

A detachable collar, circa 1910.
