I know that plenty of the forum readers in the past bought high band two button collars with very long points. Do you still wear them? are you tired of them? are they in good shape? Did you spend a lot of money on them?

What to do with them.
1. sell them on ebay or on the forum and hope there are still guys who think those collars are dope!

2.sadly give them to charity. where someone will snap them up for $9.00 and try to sell them on ebay or the Sale section of the forum.

3. Change them to white collars. using lower band height or experiment with a new collar style

4 I can take the collar apart and lower the band and shorten the points. can't change the spread!


In these difficult times why not try to save those shirts you bought when you were flush!

Prices will vary depending on the job. $30 for white collar . $50 for White collar and cuffs. reshape large collars $35.

Considerations.
look at the shirts well. make sure there are no stains on the fronts. no yellowing under the arms.
Make sure the shirts are clean.
white shirts are the hardest to save as it can be hard to match whites.
If you have several white shirts from the same fabric, it is possible to cut up one to save the others.


I will do this for custom customers and non-custom customers as well.
