Product Description
Constructed of paper with cloth lamination on both sides of the collar.
It is believed that the first detachable collars were invented in Troy, NY, in 1827, as one woman’s expedient way to launder her husband’s collar. She snipped off the collar to launder it separately, saving the body of the shirt from unnecessary washings. Up until the Civil War, detachable collars were constructed of linen or cotton.
The paper collar industry got its start during the Civil War when the South's control of cotton cut off the supply of cloth collars. Many people preferred the substitute and continued to wear them after the War. Production of paper collars hit its peak between 1870 and 1914.
Amazon Drygoods Collars have been in continuous production since 1866, when the Reversible Collar company was founded. Gibson Lee was the successor to Reversible, who in turn sold to the business to Amazon Drygoods. The Tuxedo, High Wing, and Stand-up models are still produced on the original 1860’s Reversible Collar Company press.

Top Notch Dinner Collar
Posted by Mr. Seraphim on 10th Jan 2018
As a young man I hate the current fashion trends. These trashy trendies who'd wear shorts to a wedding. Before WWI paper collars were all the rage. Well I sure as hell didn't fight in The Great War and won't accept the fashion choices of men my age 100 years ago who ditched their paper collars for cloth ones. And the Great Depression? After that multinational investment banker orchestrated event proper dinner clothes went out of fashion. Men even remotely my age's parents where not even alive at that time, so why have we continued the depression eras' bad taste? Because it's "cool" to look like trash. Well no more! Stand out from the ordanady and attract the most sophisticated ladies. Get your high quality paper collars today!
