Poirot (for instance) usually seems to have a cord round his neck and chest. Does anyone know what this would be for?

Spectacle cord?

It could be, but it seems to go rather far down.

To me it looks like a spectacle cord that is long enough to stay a bit loose when the spectacles are tucked in an inside pocket that may swing forward a bit.

Ah, that could be it - thanks!

Further investigation confirms a spectacle cord:
