I took some polo shirts to the cleaners and noticed that when I got them back, the collars were flattened. They no longer stand up. Is there way to get them to stand back up or are they stuck like this?

glue? or try taping the collar stays from your dress shirts to the back of the collar?

Fused collar stays = no no

spend the little bit of extra time and money to have them hand stitched to the collar

Wear them a few times, or starch them a bit, but not loads.
