Dickies, Dickys or Dickeys

 

Full turtleneck or mock turtleneck styles  

Men's and Women's sizes

 

No matter how you spell it, dickeys are practical and comfortable in the summer and winter. They keep a cold draft from blowing down your neck, and they keep that itchy sweater away from your face. If you suddenly find yourself too warm, they are easy to remove. Use them to accent your skin tones.

Almost everyone looks good in a black turtleneck.

Dickeys are false collars meant to be worn under another shirt or sweater. They fall about 12" down your front and back, and extend about 4" towards your shoulder on each side.  They will stretch to go over your head like a t-shirt, and can be put on or taken off without removing any other clothing. A dickey should be snug enough around your neck to stay up.

I remember my dad always wore a dickey when he went goose hunting, and he made me wear one, too. It kept the early morning chill away, yet came off easily and stuffed in our pockets when the day warmed up. Dad didn't care much about skin tones. Just wanted green, olive or black.

Cheerleaders, school marching bands, law-enforcement agencies, and other groups who need to identify by color buy lots of these. In December 2004, I sent 4 dozen Black full turtle-neck dickeys to a police department in Mississippi. On 11/2/05, they called back and ordered 5 dozen more, so you know they were pleased.

I took one of the chocolate brown ones to the local UPS shipping depot and the boss there said it would work fine with UPS Brown uniforms. So, I sell a lot of these to UPS drivers.

Some people buy them because the boss keeps the air-conditioning too cold in the summer.

And, everyone remembers Randy Quaid wearing his special-occasion dickey as Cousin Eddie in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. So, I sell a lot of them for "Christmas Vacation" parties.

 The photo below represents the shape of the mock neck style (navy) compared to the full-turtleneck style (red). 

Each year I get several orders from people who bought a year ago, so you know they must have been happy with them.

 

 

Our Dickeys come in two styles...
 

Mock-neck dickeys - and Full turtleneck dickeys.

Mock-neck dickeys have a double layer of fabric that goes about 2" up the neck, and are meant to approximate the look of a full-turtleneck dickey without the bulk. (see photo below)

Full Turtleneck dickeys have 4" (twice as much) double fabric going up the neck, and are usually worn folded back down on the outside to create a more full-collar look. (see photo below). They might also be worn unfolded and tucked right up under the chin.

Each style comes in two sizes...


 regular size (one size fits most - including many men)...
and RuffNecks for BIG men

A note about sizes... Many men can wear the Regular size.  Dickeys are pretty forgiving. After all, they have to stretch to fit over your head. I weigh 230 and have a 17" neck, and I can wear the regular size Full-Turtleneck comfortably. I prefer the RuffNecks size in the mock-neck style.

 
Mock-neck Dickeys

regular size - measure about 14" around the neck, recommended for women, children and men up to 16" neck size

(for current colors, see right ---------------->>>)

 

Measurements are taken un-stretched, laying flat on the counter

 

RuffNecks - measure about 15" around the neck, recommended for BIGGER men (neck size 17" and over)

RuffNecks - measure about 17" around the neck, recommended for men with larger than 18"neck size - the burly kinda guy you want running your chain-saw when you're clearing the back 40 acres. Now, even the biggest guy in your family can keep that chill winter air from blowing down his shirt collar.

TESTIMONIALS

These are unsolicited eMails I have received from people after they have received their dickeys.

5.1.08-- Hi Rick: The dickies arrived today, and want to tell you how very pleased I am with them. Just what I had in mind! So thank you so much. Will certainly be in touch...  June

4.12.08 -- I received the package today.  The dickies are sharp and stylish.  I tried them on and they fit perfectly. Thank You, Jerry

03.24.08 -- When I got to work, the package was in my In Box.  Thank you so much.  I just know he will enjoy these and I didn't mind the packaging.  Once again thanks for the dickeys! Corliss

3.14.08 -Hi Rick, I received the package today and with everything as ordered.  They are perfect - great colors, fit and material! Thank you again. Judy

3.08.08-- Your products are BY FAR the best thing I have found available for people like myself who’ve had a total laryngectomy and need to wear a high neckline YEAR ROUND.  Your product has been the single piece of clothing that has allowed me to still go out in public with confidence knowing I look pretty normal and is very comfortable on my skin that has been beat up pretty badly through the multiple treatments in the neck to kill head and neck cancer. David A.

3.04.08 - My dad received them yesterday and said they look great!  Thanks so much, Rick! 

12.11.07 -- The package arrived today.  Well pleased!  The ruff-necks for my 16 1/2" plumbing were the way to go, they fit just right. You'll be hearing more from me. Regards, WDR
 

12.03.07 --Dear Rick, Our son got the dickies. He was very happy with them. Many thanks. Kristi

 

11.26.07 -- Hi Rick, I received the package yesterday.   I was extremely pleased with the product and the entire process.   I'll be back for more!  Thank you! Judy

11.16.07 - Its me again. Loved the Dickies. I need 4 more turtleneck dickies in Red, Black, Orange and White. Donna

11.12.07 -- Would you please send me 4 of the black full turtleneck dickeys, the ones you sent me last year are great, these are for some friends that want them. Thanks! Gary
 

10.11.07 -- I used to wear these things 35 years ago when I lived and worked in Alaska. Strange why you can't find these things in stores and nobody even knows what you are talking about when you ask for them. You can't even find them listed in ANY outdoor sportsmen's product catalogs. They can be a real life saver when you hunt in the cold northern states. Thanks to Google I found you! I wish you great success with these very fine products.  Richard
 

10/08/07... Are those colors available?  Kindly let me know what other information you need.  I ordered two of your t-necks last year, and 
two wasn't nearly enough---they are marvelous! Thanks, Marianne ("Anne")

4.13.07 - Package arrived Thursday (4/12).  Thank you for swift service.  I appreciate you reusing shipping materials.  Keep up the good work!

 Jennifer
 

04.05.07 -- I received the dickeys and am happy with them.  I too agree with your method of mailing.  (Rick's note: we recycle our packing boxes.)  Most of the packaging is not necessary unless the item is fragile.  Thanks.  I will order more from you... Judith in Minnesota
 

02/26/07 -- Dickeys received and they look great.  Thanks for the quick and personalized service. tc

12/14/06 -- Hi Rick, I just wanted you to know I actually received the dickies yesterday!  So, that was great on the mailing!  Thanks and they look great, I think she will really like them.  Kristy

12/26/05 - Hi Rick, Thank you for the recent shipment of three turtlenecks which surprised and pleased my husband very much for Christmas! We would like to order three more and am e-mailing for confirmation of colors. In the regular size full turtleneck, we would like 1 Navy, 1 ivory and 1 cornflower blue.

 

12/24/05 - The turtleneck dickie I ordered arrived just when you said it would! That means it will be under the Christmas tree for my husband, who by the way has been searching for years for a turtleneck dickie. It looks like the one I ordered will do the trick. I really appreciate the way you do business. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!    Patricia
 

12/23/05 Hi Rick, I just got my order and the dickeys are great!  Thank you for sending them right away, in time for Christmas.  You are fabulous! I hope you are having a great holiday season, in spite of the rush, and have a Happy New Year! Peace, Jane

12.20.05 - Thank you so much for getting them right out to me.  These are for my parents and have been looking all over for them.  My mom especially wanted them very badly and she is soooooooo hard to shop for.  You know the person who has everything and needs nothing!!  Hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  Thanks again.  Laurie

12.15.05 - Hello Rick, Just letting you know, that I got my package, just like you said; and I would just like to say thank you very much, and my Honey likes them very much! They are a very good product just like everyone has said!!! Once again, Thank you! Tim S.

12/05/05 - This is a repeat order, I ordered a few from you a couple years ago for my fiancé's father & he needs more.  He was thrilled I was able to find them at all b/c they're so difficult to find in the stores if you can find them for men at all. Carla

11.01.05 - Hello Rick, To echo a recent testimonial:  "Just wanted to let you know that I just received the dickeys, and the fit is excellent!  Colors are great ~ really rich!   Thanks for all your help."  I AM contacting you about more colors.  Looking for turquoise, ivory, and wine - regular, full turtleneck dickeys. The Dickeys are everything you say they are!  Thanks for offering a great product at a competitive price.

The Dickeys are great!  Perfect fit and great quality!   I'm very satisfied and will pass the word whenever I get an opportunity. I also like your practice of using recycled packaging -- save a tree for sure!! Way to go!

They came today (Thursday)!  Thanks so much!  They are just what I wanted!  I love the internet!
