The construction of collar as heretofore deeeribed is essentially a two-piece collar and may obviously be modified Without materially departing from the spiit of the invenion which involves in the maiinlhe use ol' :i Suppleinenlul band or strip having buit-onhole poijtions wherewth free and easy secured therein of relatively narrower: Width etA itsl middle than at its ends to provide widened tabs at the front/of the collar and a free upper` space between the folds of the.
