interior collar band
Bearing in mind that macarrón also refers to tubing (as in guttering etc), then this is the extra reinforcement within the collar on rather expensive polo shirts, often herringbone taping, and even in contrasting colour/fabric. Means the collar doesn´t wear out so quickly.

rib?? seam??
this is a bit of a stab in the dark, but bearing in mind where the label actually goes, and the shape of this seam, what it suggests to me is the "rib" (probably the wrong term) that in well-made t-shirts covers the seam between the actual shirt and the collar.
there is probably a frightfully technical term for this
