I bought this collar to go with the Fairchild shirt. It looks wonderful. The hole in the front for the stud took a little working, it was very stiff, but once I did and undid it a few times it loosened up nicely. I really don't understand why detachable collars went out of fashion. I plan of buying several more.

Great item for the price. It would probably be best to purchase one of the collarless shirts that are offered. I had one (not purchased here) already in my wardrobe but it did not work as well as hoped. Great style and makes most collarless shirts very versatile. Also saves money on buying multiple shirts. :)

I am so glad I found Historical Emporium. I had been looking for a detachable wing collar for a long time. The old ones are almost impossible to find any more and even if you do get a stock of them, they wear out pretty quickly. These collars are perfect. Great service. Thanks

I bought this collar to add a realistic detail to a butler costume. It looks very good with the suit and is styled with two holes, one for a larger stud (I sewed a button onto a more modern shirt) in the back and smaller holes for plain men's collar studs in the front. It does not come starched and works fine without stiffening. It looks handsome with bow or straight ties. It arrived within days of purchase and am very happy with it, as are my fellow cast-mates.

The tips were stitched down making it impossible to use correctly. The other problem is that it measures a full 2 inches too big to attach to a standard collarless shirt. order according to the neck measurement of your shirt. the actual size column tells it like it is so match it up to your shirt measurement. I had to exchange mine for a smaller size.

Great quality and fits well over a band collar, but kinda wish the wings weren't stitched down so it sits over a tie...

Great item indeed! (only choose size with care)
This collar came safely wrapped so no creasing occurred. It matches the HE shirts perfectly, only had some minor sizing issues (now solved), but that should resolve as soon as you order from Historical Emporium again, which I will most certainly do! Next time I will know my correct sizing.
I like the way it came, not too soft and not too heavily starched, so you can choose how you like it. The wing tips are sewn on, which can and should be changed (carefully/professionally) after arrival. Otherwise it is hard to use it with a necktie.

Collars are too big for the size
The collar quality is what I expected for the price. The issue is with the sizing. They are not sized correctly. They are too big for the collar size so I cannot wear them. The shipping cost was more than the collars so I'll just toss them out. They can't shrink enough to wear so it is money wasted. If they had fit I'd have given a 4, but under the circumstances 2 stars is generous.

This is a good solid collar but the wingtips are sewn and don't leave much room for anything other than an adjustable puff tie to be slid through. Good thing you can buy Puff ties from here too.

Rated 3 stars because suggested size waaaaay too big, who needs a 19 inch collar? I adjusted it down to a 16 1/2 as did I the shirt's neckband in order to make it work.
Why are the "wing" tips sewn on to the collar...? Are they not supposed to stand up over the tie...?

The addition of a winged tip collar provides a distinctive bold look to your dress. The collar’s material quality and craftsmanship are first rate. Because the wingtips are sewn down on this collar, it doesn’t wear well with several of the cravat and tie styles, providing you want the wingtips over the band. I cut mine loose.

Good quality, although you'll need a razor blade if you want the wing tips to stick up in an authentic way. Also, you may need to order TWO sizes smaller than you think unless you're using it for the actual Emporium shirt. I have a 16.5 neck and needed to go to the smallest size for my normal collarless shirt. Kind of surprising, as I tend to buy in the extra-large end of regular dress shirts. So, do question the size chart if you got your shirt somewhere else. On the other hand, it's nice to be a "small" for once in my life...
This item looked good but the tips of the wings were stitched down and that made fishing the hook end of the tie hard. Also, making suggestions about which shirts match well with the collars would be helpful. The collar and shirt I ordered were not ideally matched. The shirt had a rear loop when the collar wanted a button. They worked well with a bit of fussing and some way too young ladies were saying sassy things so the image worked. Who knew?
