7	When a collar, may it be the dog collar or the one on clothes, is so large that we cannot see their neck. Showing their neck otherwise is {{Fanservice}}. The collar might just be a RegalRuff.
8
9	Not to be confused with RingAroundTheCollar, which was done in order for the the animation to be cheaper. There is some overlap, however. Should also not be confused with SlaveCollar.

14	[[foldercontrol]]
15
16	[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
17	* Harribel in ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''. Funny thing is that her outfit doesn't cover much else.
18	* ''Anime/BNABrandNewAnimal'': Shirou, a wolf Beastman, wears a leather dog collar even in human form. [[spoiler: It turns out to cover his scar from being nearly beheaded, and acts as a bit of a PowerLimiter for his giant form.]]
19	* ''Manga/BusoRenkin'': The coat of Captain Bravo's Silver Skin buso renkin has such a high colour that, when pulled up straight, it almost reaches the brim of his hat. The Warrior Chief uses this as a means to hide his identity, in place of the mask part of the more traditional CoatHatMask ensemble.
20	* Sasuke's first outfit in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''.
21	* In ''Manga/DearS'', the alien "Ren", as well as other aliens in the series, wear very large metallic collars around their necks, as they are slaves.
22	* The angelic characters of ''Manga/HeavensLostProperty'' have large collars/leashes around their necks.
23	* Mamoru Onodera of ''Manga/DeadlineSummoner'' is the master of a Werewolf who wears one, and [[{{Stripperific}} little besides.]]
24	* In ''Manga/TodaysCerberus'', Cerberus wears a dog collar with a chain attached, even in human form. The color of the collar is determined by the personality in control. Kuro's is red, Shirogane's is green, and Roze's is blue.
25	[[/folder]]
26
27	[[folder:ComicBooks, Comic Strips]]
28	* For some reason in comic books, long straight and pointed collars appear to be symbols of martial arts prowess as [[Franchise/TheDCU DC's]] [[ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes Karate Kid]] and [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse Marvel's]] Comicbook/IronFist are often depicted with them.
29	* Mort from ''BazookaJoe'' comics.
30	* Mortadelo from ''ComicBook/MortadeloYFilemon''.
31	* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': [[ClassyCatBurglar The Black Cat]] often wears a studded cat collar with her costume, befitting her AnimalMotif.
32	[[/folder]]
33
34	[[folder:Fan Works]]
35	* ''Fanfic/FateOfTheClans'': [[spoiler:Cú Chulainn Alter]] has a much larger one than before, covering over half his neck.
36	[[/folder]]
37
38	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
39	* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', Sun Yee wears traditional Chinese clothing which includes a high collar.
40	[[/folder]]
41
42	[[folder:Literature]]
43	* Creator/WilliamShakespeare is often depicted in one of these.
44	* The high starched and tight collar stocks of Napoleonic military uniform come in for this too: it is remarked upon a lot in Creator/JaneAusten heros.
45	[[/folder]]
46
47	[[folder:Live Action TV]]
48	* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'':
49	** Walter Denton wears a large frilled collar when he dresses as Romeo for "The Festival".
50	** Mr. Boynton wears a Sir Walter Raleigh costume with a frilled collar in "Madison Country Club". Mr. Boynton again affects a frilled collar when he dresses as Prince Charming for the masquerade ball in "Oh Dem Gold Shoes".
51	* ''Series/{{Blackadder}} II'': There was an episode where Percy Percy wore a gigantic collar because (he said) it was fashionable.
52	** He then showed up with a smaller collar because the fashionable trend was toward the tiny. Blackadder retorted that he had the most fashionable brain then.
53	* ''Series/DoctorWho'' met William Shakespeare in the episode "The Shakespeare Code." When Will complained about having neck pains, the Doctor puts one of the big frilly collars around his neck. Will mentions it stops his neck pain. The Doctor then advises him to stop rubbing his head or he'll go bald. Too bad on that one!
54	* The high starched and tight collar stocks of Napoleonic military uniform come in for this too: it is a feature in costume dramas and adaptations of the Creator/JaneAusten type. When Mr Darcy loosens his collar it's Fanservice for the EstrogenBrigade.
55	* ''Series/{{Sharpe}}'': Sean Bean shucking off his uniform is Fanservice to many viewers.
56	[[/folder]]
57
58	[[folder:Video Games]]
59	* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
60	** Dr. Odine from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' wears a large disc-like collar around his neck.
61	** The moogles from the ''VideoGame/IvaliceAlliance'' will ''never'' show their necks. For the exception of Montblanc from the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' Christmas wallpaper and Sorbet at his staring game ''Dive II Hunt''.
62	* Shad, in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess''. You ''can'' see part of his neck, just barely, but only if looking at him straight on; his weird, almost Elizabethan collar hides it otherwise.
63	* UsefulNotes/SarutobiSasuke from ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara''. At times it covers his mouth and chin as well.
64	* [[EmoTeen Neku]] [[HeadphonesEqualIsolation Sakuraba]] from ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou''. Fitting, considering that he lives in Shibuya, fashion is an important part of the DeadlyGame the characters are stuck in, and Neku starts off so closed off that he tends to hide in his high collar and refuse to interact with other Players. [[CharacterDevelopment He gets better.]]
65	[[/folder]]
66
67	[[folder:Webcomics]]
68	* ''Webcomic/TimesLikeThis'': [[http://www.timeslikethis.com/index.php?id=388 "A ruffled collar looketh rather comedic in any other era, does it not?"]]
69	* Naturally fetish collars appear regularly in the BDSM themed comic ''Webcomic/{{Sunstone}}'': all the subs have them. Most of them are leather and quite stylized but special mention goes to the one Alan provides Anne which is ''made of solid silver'' and the appearances of posture collars.
70	* Pretty much everyone in ''Webcomic/Collar6'' practices BDSM, so slave collars carry the same cultural significance as wedding rings.
71	[[/folder]]
72
73	[[folder:Western Animation]]
74	* In the ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' episode "Runaway Runway," a famous fashion designer's latest dress involves a collar so tall that "only someone with a freakishly long neck could fit into it." None of his models fit the bill, but Candace is a perfect match.
75	* Duncan and his spiked dog collar in ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'', who also ''never'' takes it off. Somewhat justified by the simplistic animation style.
76	%%* Saffi on ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes''.
77	[[/folder]]
78
79	[[folder:Real Life]]
80	* Posture collars, now almost exclusively an element of BDSM.
81	* Some [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Detail_Molenaer_Making_music_ruffcrop.jpg Ruff collars]].
