Koohii stories:

1) [Johnnyltn] 22-8-2006(170): A collar is the part of your cloak that, if tightened too tight, will prohibit breathing.

2) [Aerin] 16-9-2007(115): Collars are prohibited from wizarding cloaks. Blood purists say they're too muggle.

3) [wasurenaide] 24-11-2007(67): Dress code: all cloaks without collars are prohibited.

4) [Elphalpo] 15-8-2008(40): In some future anti-Catholic dystopia, a prohibition against collars has been enacted, so Catholic priests often conceal them (or cloak them) underneath their cloaks. Imagine a cloaked Catholic priest walking down the street when he sees a police officer approaching him, and the priest nervously tightens his cloak to ensure his collar isn't seen.

5) [nebusoku] 18-8-2009(23): Popping the collar on any cloak is strictly prohibited because doing so will make you look like an enormous douchebag. Fun fact: the phrase "pop [one's] collar" is 「襟を立てる」 in Japanese.
