I never would have though that I would have spent 17 minutes learning about the history of the collar.

[@ResponseDigitalMedia]

Great video, thanks! Two things I would add… The history behind the priest collar, and the most iconic contemporary exploiter of the collar; Elvis!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Oh good suggestions!

[@LeroyCReed]

Some fashion with a history lesson built into it. Love it!

[@NTDang]

Really love these style videos in combination with a history lesson

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Glad you like them!

[@HenrikMosesi]

Turtle neck with a suit is such a good combination. Love this look.

[@wileyallen1545]

Turtlenecks are great for hiding a long skinny neck. There is also the mock turtleneck as well which I look for in sweaters. Collars should always compliment your face shape and head size, like glasses and haircuts do. Great video Antonio. 👍

[@TheSaneHatter]

Here's a funny little story about the history of those notorious, starched ruffs from the Renaissance, which I learned during my own days as a Ren Faire performer: The starching effect was created by a middle-class Dtuch woman with the memorable moniker of Dingen van der Platz, who made an enormous amount of money by selling her secret in great confidentiality. For you see, when people heard that her method was simply to take poatoes and boil them, they were typically so embarrassed by not having thought of it themselves, that they'd never admit it by giving her secret away! So she sold the secret over and over again......

[@rafaelcastillo3834]

I first thought you were going to say that Platz evolved into the word pleats.

[@Beetleprince]

Ive been searching for this video my whole life. Thank you so much!

[@thatfish3951]

Protect the throat, gentlemen! Get a kevlar collar today!

[@yasintamer1547]

These videos are the touch those make this channel interesting...Such as ranking of militar uniforms (y)

[@findkip]

Very cool, I had all my collars removed. I also added high visibility strips, badge or access control and branding.

[@LargofromXerxes]

1. History of the collar video? Who would watch this? 2. It's an RMRS video, you say? Heck, yes! I'll watch this!

[@KRW628]

I've been a blue button-down guy for 60 years. I wear them casually, with a sport coat, and with a suit. Thanks to you, Raphael and a few others, my shirt palette includes pink, purple yellow, green and white. Solids or university stripes.

[@sirfox950]

What about Lindybeige's round collar?

[@luizde-rossi643]

Another masterpice, Antonio! There are a lot of young guys today that still pull a "Cantona" with Polo shirts, just because... Excellent content, as usual. Bravo!👏🏽

[@hbi2868]

amazing video But,. what is Keanu doing with those workers on that beam.

[@GHOST-zg8ye]

Great video as always... NOW I NEED A DEDICATED VIDEO ON NECKTIES just like this one . Please Antonio sir 🙏🙏🙏 make a dedicated video on ties..

This man can make collars interesting 😭😭

[@ifeanyikennedy1047]

It's 2022 and I wear a detachable wig collar and a club collar. To lawyers it's normal. To non-lawyers it retro. I get a lot of complements

[@musicalityadventures8544]

Editing was phenomenal. Great use of music!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I love the band collar. Working from home.

Hey bud. Where in Wisconsin are you located. Im a fellow fragrance reviewer coming up... i really enjoy your personality when it comes to describing these scents. I also live in Wisconsin. Such a great state to live in for fragrance sakes..

[@LeadLeftLeon]

Fav collars shearling and crew necks

[@bethrichardson5364]

Spanish Ruff, Elizabethan Collar, etc. *can* be worn more than once. I know. I've done it. If it wilts or gets soiled, it is carefully hand washed, starched and "ironed" back into shape with special heated rods by a servant that specializes in the task. There was often additional support in the way of boning, wiring, or a supportasse. Of course, if you have chests of gold from the New World, you can wear it once and pass it on to a sycophant or lackey. They involve yards and yards of expensive fabric and even more expensive handmade lace, and sometimes jewels and pearls. Personally, I much prefer the later "falling band" or Cavalier collar, be it for male or female. ;-) Looking further back in history, I think my favorite historical garments are the medieval houppelande, 15th C. Italian Renaissance and 1600's "Cavalier," the French style in particular. Also fond of 11-12th C. Byzantine. History, more history. Love the work you are doing.

[@oceansoflorewi]

At first I was like why hide the neck though- the neck is so beautiful. I do love a turtle neck though so makes sense. That hideous white ruffle was a vintage turtle neck basically.

[@mbojimore8710]

Nice good history..my favourite collar is that i can insert a cravat ascort tie.. n wear a tie also.semi sperate collar..👍

[@lano1492]

Sir We need more videos like that thanks .👊🏻

[@RealMenRealStyle]

More to come!

[@nycdontstop8719]

Wonderful video Antonio and RMRS team. Love content like this that explores the history of an article of clothing and takes us to the modern use of it. 👏🏽

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Thanks Kevin! We're glad you liked it.

[@DanielRiera]

Love a good long dagger collar, especially popped over a jackets lapels

[@seanmccauley1446]

I love a crisp spread collar. With a well fitting shirt it becomes a focal point in my opinion

[@ryptoll4801]

I prefer the classic notched lapels on jackets type of collar, and secondly the shawl collar especially on knitted cardigans. As for shirt collars I've always preferred the now very dated look of the slightly longer version that was popular in the 70's, especially when worn draped over the jacket. I forgot what that style is called, but yeah most people hate it lol. I don't have any shirts with that type of collar because it's rare to find these days, but I mimic the look by intentionally draping my regular shirt collar over my jacket. I know this is a style crime, I don't care. I like how it looks.

[@lano1492]

Button down collar + turtleneck .. hey antonio you and Mr alpha m should have more videos together .I think his losing his mind . Love watching ya .😂

[@SpamMouse]

As a much loved shirt shows it's age around the collar, simple cut the stiches and remove the collar itself, re-sow to get a casual collar-less shirt for the summer. It's a win-win for recycling.

[@BlueJayWaters]

I own a custom made shirt that actually has a single piece collar. When I ordered it, they called it a California collar, but basically the shirt is cut with the collar, and it has no button at the top. Which works well for me cos I only wear ties for black tie. It's my go to white shirt for semi formal and up events

[@geoffrey8221]

Yes, definitely the one piece collar for style.

[@dragonmaster9360]

24" neck. Started having a modified "Roman" collar bespoke for myself. All buttons used and a heavy 28" 18kt gold chain around my neck in lieu of a tie. Many comments and interestingly enough no one found it gaudy. I was just so tired of trying to find ties that didn't leave me looking like a boy scout. Worked at work, church and lodge as well as general social gatherings.

[@JohnFourtyTwo]

I thought you were going to mention how cravats (neckties) were originally used by Croatian mercenaries in the 30 Years War in the 17th Century to protect the throat similar to the leather collar U.S. Marines used to wear and how they got the nickname Leathernecks. 😉

[@RealMenRealStyle]

This is for another video!

[@buffalotodd5068]

My favorite collar, by far, is the club pin collar.

[@c.retana-holguin8318]

Around 2010, I had dress shirts with high structured collars. I enjoyed the look--much like German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld.

[@iflyfa18s]

Great info. I have slick collar. Works great!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Good stuff

[@uptown_rider8078]

I really hope to see these come back into fashion

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Which one?😂

How did you do a video on collars without talking about Don Cherry?

[@azraelairsoft]

I thought the flip up collar came from movies from the 40s when the bad boy would flip up the jacket, coat or shirt collar.

[@AdityaSingh-ff1iq]

11:38 amitabh bachaan- india's legendary actor on the left

[@johnwanamaker84]

I prefer the narrow point collar.

[@bsh1967]

Eric Cantona didn't play for Man U until 1992. Flipping your collar up was a thing if you were preppy in the 80's.

[@frankrizzo7185]

Spread collars are nice but with a wide face they don’t work the best for me.

[@SpamMouse]

Great information - but you really do NOT need that music running in the background, your content is more meaningful without the gloss.

[@jpjp9111]

Bonus: wear slick collar backwards and you'll look like a stylish priest. 😆 I couldn't resist.

[@MrPhilWong]

Gotta love that vintage advertisement for detachable celluloid collars showing how the stereotypical Chinese laundrymen are surprised/upset by the new invention and their ensuing loss of business...🙄

[@MrJazzBond]

Button down for motorcyclist. At least the collar won't slap your own face 😂

[@cambrown2336]

Do you wear silk shirts

[@timw8228]

Ever watch any video's on Vaux le Vicomte - Journée Grand Siècle? OMG no wonder they drank a lot back then due to the heavy clothing. Back in the 1860's women wore those metal structures under their dress. Not sure how they handled going to the bathroom. Maybe someone crawled under it with a collection pot.

[@LeadLeftLeon]

Anything in menswear that isn’t military inspired

[@Karabo4344]

Didn't know collars originated from the army

[@antwandarellefenton]

🇬🇧

[@rafaelcastillo3834]

Antonio, this is a very good video with information I'm learning for the first time, however, you really need to delete that vintage age with the racist, stereotypical Chinese men. It's very insensitive.

[@harrisonosirrah]

Dude how many thumbnails did you make for this video? Is this one of those youtube algoritim things?

What are we at 4 now?

Ruffle collars like a peacock’s tail

[@ashtondimovski7074]

Good video but you’re gonna talk collars and not mention Elvis Presley? Particularly his 1968-1973 period stagewear and wardrobe? Come on man 🤣 Actually same goes for capes…Cadillacs too I suppose.

[@WendimuSitotaw]

Is wearing shirts without a collar considered a style mistake?

[@karlr750]

Not necessarily. Those shirts are less formal than a corresponding shirt with a collar, however. The mistake only happens if you dress too casually for the occasion.

If they were say, alcoholic and drank too much, the collars could protect his clothing from regurgitation and buffer a fail due to intoxication. LOL!!!! No, probably status symbol.

Still virtue signaling / pandering to the "current thing"? which is "glory to Ukraine", wow Antonio, you're really a shame. I am withdrawing any and all support to any and all of your products and service that i may have supported in the past. I really thought you were a coherent gentleman.

[@rediius]

Um, Antonio has been married to a Ukrainian woman for decades and has half Ukrainian children and visited the country and his family in-law regularly until war broke out this year. His support for Ukraine seems pretty coherent to me.
