Sealable collars without buckles?

[ciphergoth]

I'm looking for ways of making a collar on which I can make a tamper-evident seal, such that you can't take off the collar without breaking the seal. I'd like it to be suitable for long-term wear.

My first thought was to take an ordinary fashion collar, and seal the buckle with sealing wax. The trouble with this is that buckles tend to catch long hair, especially when you sleep. So here's plan B: use a plain wide black satin ribbon, pin it shut with a couple of small safety pins, then put the sealing wax on the safety pins. But I worry the wax might be too brittle.

Any other ideas very welcome!

Hrmmm... with only the support of the satin ribbon, the wax is likely to crack when lain on. Equally, drawing-pins near the throat while sleeping sounds risky. However, my curiousity is piqued, I shall think about this one ;)

First random thoughts; paper, glued shut or with a staple-less stapler; and can you get those single-use snaps they use on concert wristbands, without the band?

Cable-ties fit in here somewhere, but only as very short lengths to use the mechanism... can't imagine you're any keener on the thought of one all the way 'round your neck than I am.
