I swear in the last week, I have found at least 4 photo's of privates with the collar of their frocks folded down. Three in books and this one on line. It would seem a pretty functional idea, mine rubs the crap out of my neck. I'm sure it did theirs too. Wadda' ya think? I know it's not enough reason for everyone in the hobby to start folding and tacking the collar of their frocks down. But, it obviously happened.

Yep, he was probably tired of his neck being rubbed raw, too.

I also notice in a lot of pictures of guys in frocks, there's no hook n' eye that's closed, the coats all seem to be open or loose at the neck. Common sense.
