Actually, regarding Collars of Estate, waaay back (when rocks were soft),
Wilhelm von Schlussel was the Laurel King of Arms. He formally stated that
Collars of Estate were reserved to those holding arms by Grant or Patent.
That reservation is not an Atlantian sumptuary rle, but nominally a Society
one.
