A broad collar or necklace, usually of metal plaques linked together, after the fashion of medieval nobles who wore such collars to indicate rank, office or affiliation. The most famous example is the collar of SS, or collar of esses, worn by those affiliated with the Lancastrian dynasty. Livery collars are ordinarily worn by persons of high rank in the SCA.
