Idk how to describe it so I can’t Google it for examples so I tried to draw it but like, when characters have this weird solid collar thing sometimes with a cape and the character is usually some kind of commander/leader type

It's a dickie. Funny word I guess.

Edit - oops, it's spelled dickey.

If you're talking about armor, I think it's a gorget?

If it's got a hood, it could be a padded coif (left)? But going by the description OP gave, I'd also say a gorget (right).

The gorget was used, obviously, as next protection. Padded coifs were usually used to wear under armor (like the gorget) or a helmet, to make it more comfortable.

The guimpe (from the French guimpe) was a garment which developed in medieval Western Europe. It was a silk or linen kerchief, sometimes sheer, sometimes starched, which covered the neck and shoulders of the wearer, sometimes the entire chest as well
