Collar Shaper | SELECT YOUR SHIRT COLLAR SIZE | THE ORIGINAL Collar Support System | Collar Stays | NOT MADE of CHEAP plastic

Finally an easy and concealable solution to floppy collars. I have put the ones you sew in the shirt and they work but costly when you add the tailoring. This device is the bomb. Several guys have quietly asked me what brand of shirt I’m wearing because of the collar. I tell them the secret.

I've been using this now for about two months and I figured it was about time for a review. I give it 3.5 stars and given what I know about the product, I'm not sure I would have paid $20+ for it. I've been searching for a product like this for a while and while I'm glad I tried this product out, I am still in search of a better solution. This collar stay has many, many frustrating flaws.THE GOOD.1. It does lift up your collars as advertised. It actually does a pretty good job of it too when it's in-place and properly fitted.THE BAD:1. It weighs a ton for such a small object. It's made from heavy metal with a soft velvet coating on it.2. The collar stay tends to move around when I'm wearing it requiring constant readjusting to ensure it isn't showing. I'm not quite positive why it shifts, but it always shifts to the same side and pops out of my left collar requiring me to adjust it back to the center. I think maybe this might be due to my bobbing head while walking causing the collar to move back and forth and makes the collar stay reset its position. That's just my theory. I've thought about putting bees wax on it to keep it from moving, but then I'll have oily, melted, bees wax residue on the inside my collar (on hot days) and I'm not sure that's a good solution. For now I'm just readjusting it often as I can.3. Because it's black, it REALLY shows up when it does shift so I have to be pretty vigilant about making sure it's still in the correct place.4. I ordered my exact collar size and now I wish I had ordered either a size or two smaller. Some shirts it just barely fits inside the collar without showing.5. The collar stay is completely round making it difficult to seat correct sometimes (this is also why it moves so easily around the collar). This is a little hard to imagine and explain, but the tips of the collar stay point inward toward your neck and moves out in a circle from there. Since my collar naturally wants to point straight out from my neck in more of a horseshoe shape, the collar stay is often battling with the collar and oftentimes it means the collar stay will droop a bit (fall down). I might be able to combat this by moving the legs of the collar stay down toward my neck, but at a cost of potentially having the collar stay show. So there's a tradeoff there.6. It's not easy to put on. I've got my own routine for getting it on now and it seems to work well. I put it in the collar as best I can while the shirt is in my hand and then put my left arm into my left shirt sleeve. This makes the collar stay straddle my left shoulder (trap) with one point on my chest and the other on my back. When I put my right arm into my shirt sleeve, the collar stay and collar move into place quite nicely with a small tug of the right shirt sleeve. Then it just requires a quick adjustment. Waiting until I have my shirt on to put it in was taking more time then I cared to devote to it and it made my arms tired while fiddling with it.7. I wish it was not as round and so open but because it's metal and bendable you can make some minor adjustments to it by bending it inward. Unfortunately, those changes don't seem to last very long because I stretch it a little when I put it on making it too wide again and it's too hard to make adjustments to it once it's around your neck.OVERALL:Like I said, it does what it says it will do: hold up your collar. But, there's a lot of maintenance that has to go into making that happen. A product like this should be1. Light colored or completely clear2. Not be so damned heavy3. Not be so round that it will shift and move around your collar easily4. Not deform so easily

Good product works well. Then only thing it's slides to one side so I have to adjust it. I'm going to try to move the legs to see if that helps.but overall it does the job 😁

I don't normally write reviews but I felt compelled to for this purchase. I'm constantly losing collar stays (the ones that come with the shirts and the metal ones I buy). I was making another metal collar stay purchase to use with my magnets and this was "suggested" by Amazon. I decided to give it a try. I was about to return it. I didn't understand how to use it properly. It does take a little to get use to. You may initially have a little weird feeling of something around your neck but it goes away. This is now my goto for dress shirts and polos with collars. The collar stands perfectly! I also pair this up with the collar stays. You will look sharp with this contraption.

I never write reviews, this is one of my first. I have to say that I loved the way the collar stay worked (unfortunately for only 6 months). I received the item in the end of April and used it almost daily with work attire. I’m disappointed to say that now in mid October it has broken. I was reluctant to buy it in the first place due to the relatively high price in my opinion for what it truly is, a piece of felt coated metal wire, but decided to give it a try anyway. The design is great, and it worked great, just didn’t get much life out of it😔. Had it lasted longer I would have easily rated 5 stars. In my opinion it should be made of a higher quality metal that can withstand little bending over time. Especially for the price. Im still questioning wether or not it’s worth replacing.11/12/19I am writing this as a follow up on my last review of the collar stay. I DID end up purchasing another collar stay after some mental deliberation (as it did work and kept my collar and I looking great!). I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised that the inventor/owner of the company saw my review and express shipped my new one which was received within a few days of ordering! Thank you for that! I can honestly say that I REALLY hope this one lasts longer. I enjoyed my first one and was disappointed when it broke mostly because I didn’t want to go even a day at work without it after knowing how good my collar looked with it on. It really does work, it is comfortable to wear, and really does keep your collar looking top notch. Thank you again very much to the company owner/inventor for taking the time to read my review and speed up the delivery time on my replacement. I am changing my 3 star review to 5 stars for the hope of longer life of the new one!
