I'm not positive what a collar maker is, but I suspect folks suggesting your 1750 man made collars for shirts are all wet. That was the 1800s (FYI, Troy, NY was once called the "Collar City for the shirts made there. I used to drive over the Collar City Bridge). Anyway, I found your post because MY ancestor also called himself a collar maker in his 1685 will!. That Looooong before detachable shirt collars. Could our men be making collars for work horses?
