The collars were of varying width. Some are quite wide others closer to normal shirt collars. Various style collars are worn and they vary in size. HBC is not sure just what the collars were. Some appeared to be sewed on or otherwise attached to the smock. In such cases they have to be separated at the back with back buttoning smocks. As most images are front views, there are relatively few images illustrating this. Other Italian smocks are simply normal shirt collars worn folded over the smock. Some appaer to be simialr to the collar on a girls' dress in that that they do not extend all the way around at the back.
