My best guess...
I have this image in my head of angry people taking off their jackets, pulling at their shirt collars, and loosening their ties and such. This behavior could be seen as an indicator of someone being angry and also or separately as someone being warm or "hot under the collar". Put two and two together and you have angry people being "hot under the collar". or not, whatever.
