Re:[h-cost] Ruffs in modern use
I like the fact that the lady uses an electric poking-stick (I can understand enough of the text to make that out)! British clergy don't wear ruffs, but some boy choristers wear pleated neckbands or other styles of archaic neckwear. My friends' son who was head chorister at Chichester Cathedral wore a falling-band.

The same ruffs are used in Hamburg, Luebeck and other parts of Northern Germany. I really wish I had more knowledge of the Danish language to read that article!
