Collar Stays: Wurkin Stiffs Magnetic – $35.00 | Exuvius Titan Multi Tool – $30.00
12 weekdays, 12 gifts, not a partridge or pear tree amongst them. And no golden rings either. The goal is to keep these affordable (which is honestly, tough to define) but still interesting. At the very least these should be idea starters. Click here for the previous days.
There’s a current epidemic of floppy & flared out collars surrounding the necks of American Males. 95% of business casual worker-guys either don’t use stays (the stiff plastic pieces that come tucked in your shirt collar points) or they don’t care that most collar stays don’t do much to keep your collar vertical. A quick solution would be to wear a blazer, but sometimes that doesn’t even prevent your collar from going flaccid.
Getting (or giving) a sturdy metal pair of collar stays this holiday season is a wise choice. The weight of the stays will keep your collar straight, and a stiff breeze won’t send them flying.
Upgrading to the magnetic powered Wurkin Stiff Collar Stays virtually ensures your collar will be rock solid and upright all day long. A tiny magnet which you slide on the inside of your shirt connects to the stay tip and locks it in. The Exuvius multi tool stays are for theMacGyver
Just don’t come blaming me if you slip and fall face first on a patch of ice and go all Clint Malarchuck on yourself.

Wurkin Stiffs are $15 at my local Nordstrom Rack right now, may be available for that price everywhere
There available at Nordstrom Rack for $15 here in Baltimore as well. I snatched up several the other day to give as gifts. Great recommendation.
Just remember to use the plastic ones if you’re flying that day.
I saw some metal collar stays in an independent mens clothing store and said, “Duh! Why haven’t I seen these until now?” Plastic breaks and bends, metal not as much. I will be getting some in the near future.
Great links in this one Joe. I always look forward to the clever links you throw in. As for the collar stays, the Exuvius Titan Multi Tool will definitely be making my Christmas list!
I thought “send them flying” was going to link here
Holy cow they’re also a bottle opener!
Wurkin Stiffs are great, except you will lose the magnets at some point given their tininess. If that happens, just buy neodymium magnets off eBay; they’re like 40 cents each.
