Würkin Stiffs Power Stays Magnetic Collar Stays|Power Stays with Storage Case | Metal Shirt Collar Stays for Men Clothing

In my philosophy, if you're a professional, it's best to dress on the high end of formality at your workplace.I love to wear ties. Unfortunately, I work in research. Scientists hate ties. The CEO of my company doesn't even wear a tie. So the most formal outfit I can get away with is an open-throated dress shirt and slacks.My problem is that I hate how a dress shirt looks with no tie. Certain shirts look ok, but for the most part it comes across as sloppy.Enter Wurkin Stiffs collar stays. Whoever came up with these is a genius. You slip the metal collar stays into your shirt collar, flip it down, then insert magnetic "buttons" inside the shirt where the ends of the collar touch the neck. Presto, the collar stands up like a button-down collar, but no buttons are visible. The look is amazing, and the magnetic charge is strong enough that they stay securely in place all day.If you want to "pre-load" all your shirts after you launder them, you can buy a lot of these. But I've been using these for years and have found that this one variety pack is enough; I just put a set in when I put on my shirt in the morning and then take them out before tossing the shirt in the laundry at night. Easy peasy.You will want a spare pack of buttons though, as you may lose them now and again.There is one trick to these, which is that you need to make sure the magnetic button is facing the right way for maximum attraction. I just start with the button on its side and see which way it wants to flip against the stay. Works every time.A couple other things to keep in mind: don't put your shirt on a wire hanger while it has the magnets inserted, because they'll tend to attach themselves to the hanger instead of the stays. And if you carry a bag with a shoulder strap, it may pull the stay apart from the button. And once the button falls down your shirt, it's pretty easy to lose. Hence the recommendation to have a spare pack of buttons.

Absolutely perfect, rarely does a product exceed your expectations, this is that product! Perfect, magnets are strong and stay in place throughout the day until you remove them, collar stays in place! Don't hesitate to purchase if your considering.

Great product.

So here's the lowdown with pictures to view:I suffer from Saturday Night Fever collar with most of my dress shirts. Even the more expensive high quality shirts seem to flare out, and is very annoying to me.I came across this product and decided to give it a shot even though I thought they seemed pretty pricey for some metal stays and magnets. As soon as I received the stays I tried them on with some shirts that gave me issues, and was extremely impressed with the results.I do think they are over priced, but are more than worth it as it makes the shirts look very sharp, and I am now able to wear a lot of shirts that would otherwise just be sitting in my closet. The way I see it, is for the price of one shirt I am now able to wear several that also look much nicer. Also, if you are going to purchase this product I would recomend the assorted pack. I found that my shirts hold different sized stays, plus they come with 6 magnets incase you happen to lose a set.I have not yet worn them out so cannot speak to whether or not they hold, but judging from the strength of the magnets and the other reviews I read I don't believe it will be a problem.Pictures attached. Hope this helps, if so please click the helpful button. Thanks!Update - June 2017 - Have now worn these many times and have yet to have an issue with the magnets detaching. Have also gone through airport security several times while wearing a set with no detection.

They work great and make the collar look great

These are great. The collar stays down and looks sharp.The down side is that when taken out of the package, the magnets and stays will fly together into a giant magnet ball. You need to keep them separate somehow. Personally, I take a magnet, attach to a collar stay, then attach that to another magnet with collar stay and store them that way.For ease of use, lay your shirt out, put the collar stay in, attach the magnet to the collar. Then put your shirt on. Then remove the magnet and reattach it to the inside of your shirt. Much easier to start this way than to try and to it all while your shirt is on.

I got tired of the plastic ones, these work great. Just remember to take them out before washing but easy to swap between shirts. Priced well for the quality needs more magnets.

I bought these after first trying a knock off brand from a local store. The quality is very evident with these. The cheap ones would bend easily and the magnets were not very strong. These magnets are very strong. (Strong enough to give you a blood blister if the two magnets snap together and happen to catch your finger). This is good though because it means you don't have to worry about the magnet letting go in the middle of the day. I thought the price was a bit high, but in reality it allows me to wear a ton of shirts that I normally would only wear with a tie....so for $4o I doubled my wardrobe. I have only used the middle size so far. I am not really sure if I will have a need for the others so I sort of wish I had gotten a multipack of that size instead of the assorted sizes. I have not flown with them yet so I can't comment on whether or not they set off the airport security sensors.
