40 Metal Collar Stays for Men – Stainless Steel Dress Shirt Collar Inserts in 4 Sizes | Quality Stays

I bought these to replace the flimsy plastic stays that come with most dress shirts. The weight of the stainless steel makes a huge difference it keeps the collar perfectly straight and prevents it from curling up. Even though this kit comes with four different sizes, I only use one specific size for all my shirts. Having 40 in the pack means I can just leave them in my favorite shirts (just remember to remove them before the laundry!) or keep a few in my travel kit. They are durable, sleek, and make any shirt look twice as expensive. If you want that "tailored" look, these are essential.

First of all read my instructions below to avoid SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY TO YOU OR LOVED ONES Now, to the review. Here I go, starting right abouuut ...... NOW Well, they are definitely metal. Malleable, magnetic. Shiny. Flavorless. odorless. .. and stiff. They fall to the ground when dropped, which is very handy because if they did not, they would probably just float away, which would make it bloody difficult to keep them on a nightstand, and what, with the holes in the roof, one would be left clambering up furniture to get them before they slipped along into the toposphere. Their lack of initiative is a serious drawback. When placed in a collar, they stay stationary and point in the direction they were originally set to. No wiggling around like a bunch of newts in a sack, no siree Bob. These stays, well--stay. They are quiescent in the extreme, lacking in even the most rudimentary motor functions. Nor are they even mildly autonomous. I swear, they have absolutely no independent thought at all and deserve to be bossed around by others. But this could be a good thing; one doesn't want collar stays that pop around the corner to the 7-11 for a Big Gulp when one isn't watching them. no. that would be pretty annoying and embarassing, what with running down the street with your collars pointing out like the wings on some deranged aircraft. no, that would be, uh, bad. yeah. Nope, they go into the collar and, ah, um, just, well, you know, sit there. Seriously people, what am I supposed to say about freakling pieces of metal?! These follow up emails are so annoying. But I digress. You should definitely buy these particular stays instead of any other similar metal collar stays that cost the same (or more...or less) and that are in every respect exactly the same because, ah, um, these are just so darn super. BUT (and this is a big BUT) I recommend that you carefully follow these instructions to get the best results and AVOID SERIOUS INJURY: 1) open package carefully with a very sharp knife making absolutely certain not to run the sharp end over your body ( or that of anyone else for that matter...or over a rope holding someone dangling in the air 5 stories above the sidewalk. Been there--done that!) 2) remove lid making sure not to throw it in a rage at your dog, hitting him in the eye.(Yeah, I am talking to you Hugh!) 3) remove the collar stays with your fingers, pliers or toes choosing the correct length.(I can't emphasize this enough. So many times I have returned these products only to find out later that I was putting a 3 inch stay into a 1 inch collar. The are no instructions for this!!!!!! I mean come on people, how am I supposed to read your minds????) 4) put the stay in the collar pocket designed for the stay. If you have a collar that has other pockets designed for other things, put the stays in first in case they set off the things in the pockets designed for the types of things that can get set off (you know who you are, Hugh!). and this is really, truly key: 5) leave the stays in until you are done wearing the shirt. They don't work well if you put them in and then just take them out again. Apparently the rigidity and mass to not impart themselves to the properties of the shirt collar, but rather remain with the collar stay for its entire life, leaving behind nary a quark to keep your collar firm, pointy and down in their absence. 6) repeat for each shirt. Putting them in one shirt does not help the other shirts EVEN IF THE SHIRTS ARE IDENTICAL. It took me a while to figure THAT one out. And for the love of all that is holy, do NOT wear these in an MRI machine while holding an infant, real or imagined. Trust me on this one.

My husband loves these metal collars. They are better than the plastic ones

Impulse buy as I was super tired of my the collars of my button ups falling flat and looking like a bowling shirt gone wrong. These are pretty neat and solid enough to keep things in place. They aren’t super thick which I appreciate. I’m not sure if they are really any specific metal. As I tried using a magnet on it. But didn’t really stay. Good gift option for any one who likes a proper collar!

Works as they should, solid construction. Various sizes included to cover the array of collars you might have.

I always lose these things so you get a bunch, varying sizes, at a solid price, they work well with the magnets I bought to go with them to keep the collar straight when I’m not wearing a tie

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

These are good quality

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.
