Help for those feisty collars

[bkbjones]

I have SOME (but not all) blue shirts that sometimes go "Elvis" on the collars. It seems like every other year the shirts have this problem.

I was at the world's largest retailer over the weekend and found a new kind of Faultless Starch. It has Stain Resistance. And...the can says you can use it on any type of fabric.

So, I am giving it a try. More worried about nice collars than the stain resistance, although stain resistance could help. I try not to eat burgers, dogs or whatever while wearing my blues...but things can happen.

I will let you know how things work out.

For some odd reason, the right side of my collar always pops up over my jacket. Never the left. Annoying as can be.

Haven't figured that one out yet...

Probably because you use your right arm about 95% of the time to make calls. A good overhand out will bring the collar out from under you jacket. Dave

Oh yeah... My sell calls are reasonably energetic (except the routine ones). Why didn't I think of that?

Don't answer that. :P

One thing I do that has actually helped is when i hang my shirts up, I button the top button and flip the collar UP. I've always done that to my golf/polo shirts and last year started it with my umpire shirts. The only shirt I have a problem with is one that I had a problem with BEFORE I started this practice.

I never wear a collared shirt under my jacket. In WV, we are supposed to wear a mock turtle neck under the jacket.

What happens on those days when you start with a jacket in the morning and 'round about the 4th inning want to take if off?
