The invention relates to a collar (11) of a knitted garment, in particular a polo, comprising a first flexible knitted portion (31) comprising a substantially curve shaped outer longitudinal end (312); a second structured stitch rigid knitted portion (32), distinct from the first portion (31) and constituting the collar stand, comprising a substantially curve shaped outer longitudinal end (314), this second portion (32) being linked to the first portion (31); and a substantially curved longitudinal fold axis (33) of the first portion (31), so that this first portion (31) is folded along the longitudinal fold axis (33) to cover a portion of the first portion (31) and the entirety of the second portion (32). This collar (11) further defines a height H1 between each outer longitudinal end (312, 314) at its central portion and a height H2 at both of its two lateral ends (313), with H1 equal to or larger than H2. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such a collar (11). The invention also relates to a garment comprising such a collar (11).

An expandable joint for use in, for example, a headband, includes elastic material, a low-friction sleeve, and a tube. The low-friction sleeve covers at least two opposing sides of a portion of the length of elastic material. The length of elastic material is affixed to the low-friction sleeve at a first end of the low-friction sleeve or a point adjacent to the first end of the low-friction sleeve. The length of elastic material extends beyond a second end of the low-friction sleeve opposite the first end of the low-friction sleeve. The tube substantially encloses the low-friction sleeve. The low-friction sleeve is affixed to the tube at the first end of the low-friction sleeve or a point adjacent to the first end of the low-friction sleeve, and the length of elastic material extends beyond a first end of the tube.
