Matvey was holding up the shirt like a horse's collar because he was helping his employer to dress. Matvey is Stepan's valet.
"Matvey was already holding up the shirt like a horse's collar, and, blowing off some invisible speck, he slipped it with obvious pleasure over the well-groomed body of his master."
