White Collar Bitching - Collar Stays
These little white [censored] pieces of plastic are the current bane of my existence. They're impossible to find at any store near me, I lose them or they break/bend them constantly.
I swear, I spent 10 minutes emptying out my drawers looking for a one piece of plastic that costs about 1 cent. They sell gold ones, that are pretty invincible. But I know I would end up losing those too. My boss suggested I use a paper clip instead for days I can't find any; and that just looks ridiculous in a white shirt. All you youngins out there considering working somewhere you have to wear a suit to work...heed this warning. Stock up on collar stays, or just take a different job. Anyway, I don't expect many responses, theres like 10 guys on here who can relate, but what can we do about this? There's a few shirts I have, that have the stays sewn in, but they come back from the cleaners and you can noticibly see the outline of the stays. Am I just [censored] here? Do I need to go to Brooks Brothers, and just buy a 1000 stays? |

You have to wear a suit? If not, just get button down collars.

Usually good dry cleaners will have plastic ones for sale for pretty cheap. Personally if you're always losing them I'd buy a bunch off the internet. It's gonna be a helluva lot cheaper than brooks brothers.
Good man for avoiding the button-down collar. Or you could go higher-end with smarter products, like the StayClip Stay Clip Freakin |

I've never heard of a collar stay but it took me 2 seconds to find out where to get them online.

[/ QUOTE ] I buy them in a bunch of places, the last suit I got at Macy's, 35% off..Michael Korr's, charcoal grey, orange pinstripe; pretty solid--anyway, Macys doesn't sell them. I guess online is the way to go. I never even considered purchasing them online. |
