Title: Antique Starched Detachable Collar Machinery
Post by: RJW on April 13, 2015, 08:24:37 PM

Hello. I am looking to source any starched collar machinery. In particular, looking for any starched collar turners/creasers that are used to turn down the collar of a starched detachable collar.

If you have any information regarding where some of this machinery may be, please don't hesitate to email me: rjwshirts@hotmail.com

Thanks in advance.
