Re: khaki 37 pattern BD

If I may, the Canadian BD also had an alternate method to secure the collar besides the usual hooks and eyes. A wool tab was sewn to the left collar and was attached to a button located on the underside of the right collar. When collar was worn open, the tab was folded back and attached to a second button on the underside of the left collar. A good reference to this feature is the photograph on page 6 on Michael Dorosh's book, Canuck.
