Albrecht like his brother Luitpold wore quite a number of outfits with large collars. Some, but not all were lace collars. Some appear to have been pleated. We have noted Albrecht wearing several different collar styles. Not ony were their sailor collared middy blouses, but there were
several different styles of large collars. One was a large white collar with pleated material. There were many different style of
lace collars. Quite a number of outfits show him wearing large lace collars. The two basic kinds were a generally rounded, but
scalloped style and another one with a sharply pointed lace collar. We have noted Luitpold weaing this large pointed lace collar with a dark satin suit, but hav not seen images of Albrecht wearing a similar style. As might be expected, they appear to be made of
high-quality fine lace, not a ruffled collar with a little lace trim at he edge.
