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

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.

Good quality and a range of sizes. Really pleased with my purchase.

They are nice but I think they should be wider, they can easily fall from some of my shirts 😢.

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

I love these and I wear them daily.

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

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.

Feel good quality. I wear various shirts, one of them has a cutaway collar and I've lost the collar bones, this is the only reason I bought these. Turns out the kit doesn't include this size

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.

These collar stays are great. Good variety of sizes and they work with magnets to create a polished look.

Metall, praktisch, aber nicht vergessen, vor der Wäsche rauszunehmen :)

The various sizes help as some of my collars are smaller than others. The quality of the metal is quite good, without any sharp edges that would potentially damaged the fabric. They are ferrous as well (attracted to magnets) which allows you to use small magnets to get a button down look. The case is nice to keep the all together, and have a place to put them when the shirts are being washed. Definitely more than enough for are provided.
