Men's Collections 40 Metal Collar Stiffeners in a Box - 4 Sizes, Silver, M

Bought these for my husband after him always losing the original ones. Great that they come in different sizes and the storage box so I don’t find them all around the house.

Nice quality and ideal as there are a number of different lengths for different collie sizes

A little narrower than most of the plastic ones you get with the shirts but they work as intended. As I wear modern business shirts I have only very little use of the longer stiffeners. Still good value.

One of the mysteries of life is how collar stiffeners either go missing or end up broken or sad, bent and twisted at the bottom of the washing machine. Part of the problem is that once upon a time all shirts had bones, as we used to call them, so it was second nature to remove them for washing. These days they are not as common as many shirts have button down collars, soft collars or built in stiffeners, so the habit has been lost. These stainless stiffeners come in four sizes so should cover pretty well any shirt. Stiffeners are stiffeners so are hardly any different to plastic in use, and, so far, the novelty has meant they have been removed for washing. That will pass though and no doubt in a short while they will end up in a shirt in the washing machine. They seem tough enough and strong enough to survive unscathed and are large enough to avoid slipping through the drum yet small enough to avoid causing any damage – much the same as a loose coin I would imagine. The rounded edges should greatly reduce the chances of damage to the collar if they don’t slip out during the wash and being stainless they won’t rust or leave stains so, hopefully, there will be no harm done. The box is handy to keep them in, at least you should know where the stiffeners are, and it is perhaps telling that there are five pairs of each size which I suspect is not so much on the basis buyers will have 20 shirts, but more that even in indestructible steel, shirt stiffeners will still go missing.

How did I not find these earlier - such a great idea and so durable. Quality I great, fit fab, I love them.

The stays are perfectly fine, but the box is just 2 or 3 mm too wide so that when the box is moved, the stays get all jumbled up. If the box fit them more snugly they would not do this and it's very frustrating.

Exactly what I wanted, perfect looking collars now. Great value for money, great storage boxes and no more bent plastic "stays".

Good mix of sizes, the only downside is that there are no dividers in the box to keep the different sizes separate, so they all mingle into each other. Minor problem though - the overall product is very good.

So good to have plenty of metal inserts of various sizes. Don't have to worry about them going through the watching machine or losing them.

Mon mari est heureux ! Plusieurs tailles, pratique selon les modèles des chemises.

I had been meaning to purchase metal collar stays for years but never quite got around to it. As a person who has been wearing shirts very nearly my entire life, let me tell you, I know a thing or two about the horror of bent, poorly made, plastic stays: they are terrible, soul destroying horrors from the mind of an insane engineer - obviously. Some people have complained about them being heavy. To those I say: they are made of metal, not plastic, so of course they are heavier than you are used to; if you thought that they would be lighter than, or even as light, as the pernicious, plastics stays that came with your otherwise lovely shirts, then perhaps you might use your past textile experiences and imagination in combination when pondering future purchases. These do not bend. They do not break. They are the forever stays of my dreams.

For years I just used the plastic collar stays that come with the shirt. They work alright but they break or develop a bend or you leave them in the shirt when you take it to the cleaners and never see it again. I finally bit the bullet and bought this kit. It has all the sizes I need. They are straight as an arrow so my collars look crisp. They don't solve the cleaners problem, though, so that's on you. Probably something I'll have to buy every 10 years.

OK
