Col white

The white collar is a ribbed, stand-up white collar with a wide chest piece that covers the neck and the upper part of the chest. For the Sinterklaas holiday, such a collar is part of the classic image of the Pete: a neat white neck above the colorful outfit, which immediately stands out between the beret and the jacket. The collar is intended for women and men who appear as Pete during the arrival or on costume night.

How the white collar is made

• The white collar consists of a tightly ribbed collar that stands upright around the neck.
• The collar has a wide chest piece with slightly rounded corners and a hemmed edge.
• The collar and chest piece are both plain white, without print or decoration.
• The Pete collar is made for adults, both women and men.
• You only receive the collar; the beret and the wig from the styling are not included.
• The brand is PartyXplosion.

Why a separate collar instead of a white turtleneck sweater?

A separate collar gives you the same white neck as a turtleneck sweater, without having to wear a whole sweater under your costume. Under a Pete costume, you only see the neck and the upper part of the chest of a sweater anyway, and that is exactly the part the chest piece fills. You pull the collar over your own shirt and the jacket closes over it.

Building a Pete outfit around the collar

Start with the Pete costume itself, the jacket and the puffy pants in the colors you choose, and place the chest piece of the collar neatly under the neck opening. A velvet beret with a feather completes the head, and a curly wig fills the space between the beret and the collar. White gloves match the color of the collar, so the neck and hands match. With a sprinkling bag or a bag with pepernoten on your arm, the Pete is complete.

Get the white collar at home and your Pete costume will have a neat white neck during Sinterklaas.
