Invented in the Presbyterian Church, the clerical collar was adopted by other Christian denominations, including the Anglican Church, Methodist churches, Eastern Orthodox Church, Baptist churches, Catholic churches and the Lutheran churches.

By the 1880s this had been transmuted into the clerical collar, which was worn almost constantly by the majority of clergy for the rest of the period. The clerical collar is almost always white and was originally made of cotton or linen but is now frequently made of plastic. For large dogs with long legs, it is easier to put one front leg into the appropriate hole, then the head, and then the other front leg.

Although their functions are similar to those in other denominations, the Reformed tradition stresses preaching as a central concern, and 'preaching tabs', which project from a clerical collar, are still at times worn with a robe while performing this task. Quintessential British design and a renowned product range has allowed the Hammond and Harper brand to grow and flourish. Preaching bands (an alternative name for tabs) are also worn by Anglican clergy, particularly on occasions such as inductions when choir dress of cassock, surplice, preaching scarf and the academic hood pertaining to degree is worn, as well as at Mattins and Evensong.
