Yes Dawn I remember my Dads collars he used to wear collarless striped flanel shirts and white on Sunday he always hated collar studs back and front we used to have to help him. When during the war in the N.A.A.F.I we had kaki shirts with seperate collars had to beg Dads collar studs I think by that time he may have had ones with a collar. If they got frayed it was possible to unpic the band with a razor blade and turn the collar and resew . Nothing new about make do and mend we even had to darn socks taught to darn at school as well as at home our teacher used to bring her husbands socks for us to practice on..Rhoda
