What I’m about to discuss is a serious matter of grave consequence to the countless professionals and would-be professionals roaming the corporate wasteland.
Unruly collars.
We’ve all had them. Some of us have resorted to extremes involving rubber cement and a caulking gun while others have decided that there are more important things in life than the state of your dress shirt collar.
To those individuals, feel free to read along with those of us who do not wallow in such luxury.
But I’m not here to complain about the state of collars in today’s retail clothing landscape. Rather I aim to provide a solution to this age-old problem, suggesting that readers check out the magnetic collar stays currently being offered by Wurkin Stiffs. These ingenious, yet simple, little devices serve a dual purpose.
1. Keep the collar straight.
2. Allow you to position your collar wherever you fancy.
The item simply relies on a small magnet that allows its user to position the metal collar stay placed in the dress shirt in various positions. Since it is so structurally simple, you’re not looking at some impossibly difficult to use doodad that will end up at the bottom of your underwear drawer, but rather a useful addition to your work wardrobe.
The most surprising aspect of this product is that no one thought of it earlier. I know I wish I did.
Pros
- Simple and straight forward design
- Elegant solution to frustrating problem
Cons:
- Pricey for a piece of metal and a magnet ($25 – $43)
- Realizing you are a slave to your corporate jail suit
Rating: 4 out of 5 cents
