German Boys' Garments: Collar Types--Connecting Collars


Figure 1.--These brothers, perha[s twins,m had their portrait taken in Apolda. The CDV portait was tken in 1892. We are not sure yet what te proper name of the collar is.

This is is a rather formal collar that we have seen boys wearing around the turn of the 20th century in the 1890s and 1900s. We have no idea what to call it. It appears to be a collar in which one wing of the collar connects with and overlaps the other. It looks to be a detachable collar. We note it being worn without neckwear and with a kind of low slung bow tie. It appears to be a collar style most associated with Germany. We think it was a style worn by both teenagers and young men. It was a fairly popular collar style. We note it being worn with suits. We even notice it being added to boys, but not girls, sailor outfits. This rather defeated the purpose of a sailor suit as a smart but comfortable, practical stye for boys.
