Guys, anyone knows where can i get these locally?
Collar stays, to straighten your collar.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Dont these normally come with the shirts?

My raoul shirts comes with it. >_>

I dun think you can get these in Malaysia as it is not common, maybe can ask any tailor. A proper ones are those made of metal (something like copper)
I have one pair got from UK while there

Yes it came with shirts. But due to laundry n washing, some gone missing.
So i am trying to replace them.

I know that they are metal ones. But if i forgot to take the metal ones out before laundry, the metal ones will change the colour of my shirt completely.

I know you can buy them metal collar bones from Raoul.. price quite reasonable.. now on sale, maybe can get em cheaper.. Try Cuffz.. they might have em as well..

raoul no longer sells them ..i knw of two places CUFFZ and TM Lewin in 1u

There is a TM Levin in 1u?Really?
Okay, will try them.
But i assume they sell the metal ones right?
Any idea where to find the plastic ones?

i saw some metal 1 at tangs department store

i bought frin off ebay bro. cheap as well, they got plastic ones too

maybe can try this?

in addition i think i saw robinsons selling them, though i believe they r not cheap

you are very creative

can get from ebay 100 piece form 1 dollar.

i would say invest in a nice, sturdy collar stay than can last you for ages.

i am using these now:

dunhill hallmarked sterling silver (left) and tiffany & co sterling silver (right)

All my collar stays so far has came with the shirt itself and its plastic.
So my question is to those using metal/steel ones, in case if you forgot to take it out and put your shirt in the laundry, would it caused the stay to rust and affect the shirt?

Haven't happened to me yet.. So far I make it a habit to take em off and keep in case after wearing them..

Attacusatlas,

Nice collar stays there..

I think the key here is you must make it a habit, be part of your daily routine.

i remember when i first put on a pair of cufflinks. it was so much hassle that i nearly gave up but after several times, cufflinks have been part of my life and i just can't get enough of them.

Also you mind will register that you are using a pair of collar stays, a pair that you paid at a premium (in comparison). So your mind will somehow prompt you to take them out before you wash your shirts.

Nice... very creative.. but wouldnt be caught dead with it hahaha...

Its silver/copper/stainless steel etc... it wont rust.

Anyway, just find a piece of plastic and cut to your desired shape and be done with it

Thanks a lot guys
Bought a pair of titanium coloured stainless steel from cuffz for less than RM30.
Pretty satisfied. Haven't use it though.

Hmm.. just curious.. what exactly is the colour of Titanium?

Ebay has some choices for you

Collar Stay

I saw in these places:

1) Cuffz (Robinson Gardens, 1U) - RM50/pair
2) My Tie Shop - RM20/pair (plain design)
3) TM Lewin (Gardens) - RM200++/box comes with a pair of cufflink and one tie

May I know the metal collar stay does come with magnet? Cuffz got?

Comes with magnet??? What do u need magnet in a collar stay for?

Normally no. I bought mine on Amazon(stays and magnets).

I don't use the magnets anymore, too much hassle. I fuss with them so much in the morning to get both sides to match. Sometimes they drop inside your shirt when you're holding your phone with your shoulder.

Never think about there is such premium option for a collar stay but its really nice!
I think the original one mostly come with plastic one right? I had lost mine after few wash, and never found any available- good topic here!

I was told before that can get from Kenanga Wholesale City, although I've yet to go check it out

Remember how much you bought? Yesterday i checked with Cuffz and My Tie at 1U. they got metal collar stay but not come with magnet >.<
anyone know where to buy magnet? plan to buy magnet & stay seperately. shd be more cheaper~

to make your collar stand straight. juz like new shirt so that u will look more sharp & presentable

My question was what is the purpose of a magnet in a collar stay... not what is a collar stay

i already answer you. magnet is to help collar stand up. stay is juz to make it straight

Wow bro you bumped something that i posted 4 years ago!!

I normally throw away those plastic collar stays. Those sterling silver collar stays lasts like ages. Been using them for like almost 10 years.

Haha, didn't realize it.
Both of this still under utilize?

You can buy these magnets crazy sticky magnets from Daiso.



I bought these for some projects and they are really strong! I saw someone used it to hold name tags and emblems on clothes. So there is a very likely chance u can use it.

Thanks for the info! Will go there n buy it soon. You're da man. TQ

under utilise? i use them everyday except on Sat & Sun.

Does Daiso also sell collar stays?

Maybe got. But never seen before. I usually go there to hunt for DIY stuff.

i use to cut them for myself from those plastic sheets used as the front cover of high school project bounded reports and they hold up pretty well ...

3 pairs of horn collar stays of different sizes for USD60 with delivery to Malaysia.

DIY using playing cards

so guys, as of May 2016, is Cuffz still selling these collar stays? cuz i browse through their website and doesn't appear to be there.

They didn't have any when I went there a few months back.

Thanks for the info.
So anywhere i can get it? from b&m shop, not online. even if they ship from US the shipping fee is probably the price of the item if not higher

Sorry, no idea. I buy mine online. Just make sure there are enough things in my cart to make the shipping worth it.

Brooks Brothers One Utama. They had a vial of about 20 pieces in 4 different sizes for RM60.

this is good info. thanks. will drop by BB to check them out.

How's the quality bro? I remember I was tempted to get metal stays that I saw somewhere because I thought it would add weight and keep the collars stiff and down.

But it doesn't seem like a popular thing because I don't see many around.

Quality is OK. I just bought some cheap stays on Amazon and they feel the same though.

Before this I've been using stainless steel stays, but I had a problem with some of my shirts from Jeremy Tok; the very tips of the collar were bent in at the end of the day. Jeremy said it could be the weight of my metal stays which is why I've bought plastic ones. Will be trying it out soon.
