Detachable Moi

I've always wondered what the hell it even meant whenever I'd read a book around the turn of the century and a dude was always looking to buy a new collar, like HERE. Always cracked me up - like when you ready Woody Allen and spend half the story thinking "what the fuck does blocking a hat mean?"

I've also wondered why nobody else seemed to ever wonder about this, until now:  readers over at Sully talk about the detachable collar making sense back in the Industrial Age. Nice.



UPDATE: I just realized that the date of the Xmastime link above was...EXACTLY 3 YEARS AGO TODAY!!! (shiver)  

My scary prescience brings me no joy.
