Slick CollarShirt Collar Support System set with 3 adjustable, 10 premium Collar Stays & a Durable tin Travel EDC Box in White

I have looked for a product that would fit what is perhaps a need different, at least much of the time, from what this product seems primarily designed to do, at least based on the accompanying illustrations; namely, to keep a button-down shirt collar straight and smooth rather than rumpled, deformed, and crushed when it is used without a necktie. That's all good, and I can use that, too.My more acute need is to have a properly appearing button-down shirt collar while wearing a tie, which I must do frequently and often with button-down dress shirts. I know I'm not the only one to be plagued by collar deformity, for I see it all the time in others—and it looks, well, unsightly.The deformity occurs when the tie portion around the neck and under the collar slips down just a bit from being directly under, where it should touch and support the inner top of the collar. Because button-down shirt collars do not have stays and also are not stiffened to some meaningful degree—which most non-button-down shirts are, at least name-brand shirts—a little "valley" develops in the space between the top of the collar and where the around-the-neck portion of the tie now is mis-positioned near the front of the collar.I have experimented with Slick Collar and have proved to myself that this product prevents this evidence of defective grooming from appearing. Slick Collar's projections to the front—which I have adjusted so that they come as near to meeting in front as they can without having the tips actually visible—exert enough upward pressure on the underside of the collar so that no serious deformity is permitted to occur.I should mention that I use the large one of the three, and I also have removed the Silicone Grips—which are not needed at all when the collar button is fastened and a tie is used—so that the necktie will move freely and not be hampered while it is being knotted. Furthermore, to ensure that a little slice of tie does not peek out at the bottom rear of the collar—a possible product of having a bit more bulk under the collar with both tie and Slick Collar there together—I take a few extra seconds to make certain that the tie is pushed up at the back of the collar.For years uncounted I have attempted to find something that would solve this problem, and this is it. My search has ended.

I feel it worked very well unfortunately didn’t work for the special project I was using it for

So these do help your collar stay up and “perky.” With that being said some shirts work better than others depending on the collar design. I find that if I wear a collared shirt I go ahead and put them on because they do work and help.I would say that they don’t always have as drastic of an improvement as the product description depicts, but they definitely improve the overall appearance of the collar.Also, the product I received came with those little plastic collar stays which was a nice bonus and helps too.My other concern was concealment and whether they would stay out of sight throughout the day. Well, they do stay pretty well hidden almost all the time. Again, this is an area where some collars perform better than others. I have some shirts that it will eventually show in some way or another. Then on the flip side I have shirts that have never had an issue and when I go to do my laundry the collar device is still there! LoLI recommend this product and will probably buy more if I ever lose them.

These collar supports are now a staple in my wardrobe. They keep my shirt collars standing up and looking crisp without the need for starch. The adjustable stays are a game-changer for different shirt types, and the travel tin is handy for on-the-go use.Pros:Keeps collars crisp and professionalAdjustable staysComes with a travel tinCons:None

I tried this on several polos and oxfords and it doesn't work for these shirts. Maybe is my neck size, not sure, they have three sizes but I still can't make it look like the website. Unfornutly I'm going to have to return this item, I'm going to have to rely on more starch in my collars

This was a bit confusing at first, since the instructions were not immediately comprehended.Tried them with dress shirt, then polo shirt. Both worked good, just need to adjust to your comfort and neck size. You you will need to chance from shirt to shirt though depending how many you order and frequency you wear dress shirt or polo’s.I was pleasantly surprised how different / professional a polo looked. It really made a difference and nobody will know, but will notice you look polished and squared away.Additionally, this came with several regular collar stays, which will replace any others you may have and are worn out.Overall for me, it will work. It will take a minute to get comfortable getting it right, same as a tie… getting it right takes a minute unless you nail it the first time.

Just get them. They’re worth it

I bought the set with two Slick Collars in it for the same price as one. One is a bit smaller than the other. The Slick Collar worked best for me with the dress shirt I was wearing. A shirt with a thicker platen or the stiffeners in the platen in combination with the Slick Collar would have been great, but I was short on time. I also replaced the plastic shirt stays with metal ones. The open collar look was not perfect, but was pretty good.
