protective collar on kimono or bedclothes
A detachable or protective collar used on kimono or bedding to keep the main fabric clean; also called 掛衿.
Attach a protective collar to the kimono to prevent soiling.
The protective collar on the bedding was fraying, so I replaced it with a new one.
Compound of 掛け (かけ, 'hanging' or 'covering') + 襟 (えり, 'collar'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the term straightforwardly describes a collar that is attached or placed over something.
