Description:
Man's pre-made, black silk stock collar lined with black and white striped shot silk taffeta stiffened with canvas and an attached flat bow at lower edge of center front. The closure is at center back - one end slides into a pouch-like opening so closure disappears. The entire structure has been formed over several thin bands of watch spring steel providing the wearer ease of wear and speed in dressing.
