Talk:False-collar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I found false-collar by a link within wikipedia from Eton College, so if it is deleted, that link will have to be updated. If it is removed from wikipedia then at the least it ought to be included in wiktionary.

It should probably be contained within Wiktionary but as the false collar has no impact outside of Eton (unlike "stuck-up", which has entered common English parlance) it should be removed from Wikipedia no matter what. VfD supported.

Well, what about calling it a 'detachable collar' then? I created a 'detachable collar' article and linked it to this, but maybe it should be the other way around. And, there's an article on 'collar' with a lot of different types of collars listed (all in red, no working links), but NOT false collar or detachable collar which could have a valid link. And I added external links to articles about detachable collars.

It was my knowledge that a 'detachable collar' is in fact the original collar. It has only been in this century that collars w heere attached to shirts. - Matthew238 23:03, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

That's a common belief, but actually attached collars are older; you can see them on Elizabethan shirts here [1] and here [2], and eighteenth-century shirts also had attached collars that fold over like modern collars. PKM 00:18, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Why did the detachable collar fall out of style? What replaced it?
