Half-collar - Han-eri

Japanese: 半襟 - はんえり

Also called a sogi collar. A collar sewn onto the collar of a kimono undergarment, etc., as a decoration. Originally, collars of the same length as the real collar were called nagaeri (long collars). It was popular during the Edo period, with black collars for men and different collars for women in winter and summer, and for ceremonies, plain white patterned fabric embroidered with gold or silver threads was also used. Later, depending on the season and purpose, black or plain habutae or hachijo-ori fabrics were often used for men's clothing, while crepe, patterned crepe, ro, and patterned ro came to be used for women's clothing. Satin or velvet may also be used as a half-collar for hanten (half-coats), bedding, and kakumaki (covered kimono).

Japanese:

削 (そぎ) 襟ともいう。襦袢 (じゅばん) などの襟の上に装飾を兼ねて縫いつけた襟。もと本襟と同じ長さのものを長襟と呼んだのに対する。江戸時代に盛んで，男性用は黒地，女性用は冬と夏で異なり，また儀式用には無地の白紋織に金糸や銀糸で刺繍したものも用いるようになった。その後，季節と用途で異なるが，男物は黒か無地の羽二重や八丈織が多く，女物には縮緬 (ちりめん) ，紋縮緬，絽，紋絽なども使われるようになった。半纏 (はんてん) や夜具，角巻にも繻子やビロードなどを半襟として用いることがある。
