+Femi Paul Thanks for watching!

[@jdhsingi]

Innovative solutions and great information to fix a real problem. Thanks for sharing and supporting small business.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Jim D You're very welcome sir!

[@tattoofun2003]

You are my inspiration! I am amazed by the quality of your presentations, substance, script, image, sound, I love it!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+tattoofun2003 Thank you sir!

[@MrSupernova111]

Wow!! I always learn a lot from thus channel. I didn't even know what a placket was. I'm very picky about my shirts and I finally know how to pick them. I will be sure to pick the right shirt going forward and maybe try out the Million Dollar Collard. Keep up the good work!!

[@rjmari]

I've found that the way you hang your shirts makes a huge difference. You should always button the very top button when hanging a shirt. This helps a lot with shirts with weak plackets as it forces them not to constantly sag while they're hanging.

[@scottjoseph7885]

even polo shirts and plaid shirts ??

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+rjmari Good suggestion!

[@rjmari]

Scott Joseph Yup, I do this with all my shirts that button up. including henleys and polos. Same goes for jackets if you don't want them to sag. Just button/zip them all the way up when you hang them. It's not perfect, but it makes a significant difference while only taking a few more seconds of your time.

[@migueld24]

nobody talks about this. Nobody. its refreshing to watch this video.

[@cuauhtemocmiranda8877]

Thanks Antonio, great tips, gonna check out Million Dollar Collar site. I'm still havig problems buying a right shirt. They shrink and the length of my arms shorten to be inside the jacket, hate it.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Cuauhtemoc Miranda Yes, buy sleeves too large and tailor them down, the same time you get your million dollar placket put in ;)

[@samuelsanchez8212]

Good looking out Boss I've been trying to figure it out thanks 👍 I appreciate your time and lesson God bless Sam

[@drmarkkelly]

Great video Antonio! Just ordered some placket stays off Million Dollar Collar. Thanks! Hopefully they'll work well in unison with my Wurkin Stiffs! Keep up the great work on RMRS 😀

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Mark Kelly Awesome! Let me know how that works :) Thanks for the support!

[@ImJustBoots]

Hey Antonio, esta muy chever y me gusta mucho como agregaste la referencia a los puntos del vídeo! esta más fácil para entender todo. te quiero también preguntar: Voy a solicitar una ayuda del gobierno en mi país RD para mis estudios y transporte, porque no tengo carro y eso me ayudaría a tomar taxis y evitar a asaltantes, que son mucho más comunes ver alla ahora y ya he sido robado a pistola. (ten paciencia, ahora te digo) pues, normalmente ando vestido muy bien y me siento cómodo en traje y corbata o casual para negocios, y me gusta porque me siento que cuidó de mi mismo y se ve, pero esto me atrae muy buena atención y normalmente la gente tiene la idea de que tengo más dinero de lo que de verdad tengo. entonces quiero tu opinión: Como debería vestirme para esa reunión en la que voy a solicitar la ayuda económica (estudio medicina y ya no tendré tiempo para trabajar y estudiar y llevar una vida balanceada)? debería usar mi ropa bien representada que normalmente uso y que daría la impresión de que tengo dinero y no necesitó lo que pido (aunque si lo necesito), o debería verme bien cuidado pero de una forma casual que no llame la atención pero limpiamente. Que pensarías tu si fueras gobernante y alguien como James bond te solicitara ayuda para transporte y estudios?

[@ThePerfectElement555]

Thank you Antonio! This always annoys me so much! I like to leave 2 buttons undone and sometimes it looks okay with just the shirt, or the shirt and sweater, but as soon as I put any kind of jacket on top, the placket just folds in. It's really annoying because then the collar often shrinks down and you can't even see the collar from above the lapel of the jacket. I too feel like most people just talk about how to get a stiff collar, ignoring the fact that the placket is the real problem. Million dollar collar sounds really promising, I will definitely have to check them out! Thanks for sharing!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+ThePerfectElement555 Have you tried leaving one button undone? Let me know your thoughts when you get to check it out.

[@ThePerfectElement555]

+Real Men Real Style I have. I prefer the look of two undone though because it looks less uptight, and more relaxed, natural, and confident to me (though I know it's personal preference). That being said, there are times when I'm wearing a jacket that I'll do only one undone, but the ONLY reason is because the jacket causes the placket to fold in like crazy and it really annoys me. :P I've actually had a friend reach over and try to fix the collar at a social event one time so I know it's not just us style hobbyists that notice it. Million dollar collar sounds amazing though, if it works. I might get one to try it out, and then if it's as great as it looks, I might just get them for all my shirts, because the whole sloppy placket thing is one of my biggest style pet peeves lol.

[@IamDennisKeller]

Very nice Tips! Just recently bought 2 shirts, going to try this out! :D

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Dennis Keller - [Lifestyle] Awesome, let me know how it works out!

[@IamDennisKeller]

+Real Men Real Style As soon as I try it out I´ll answer! ^^

[@Pindakaas010]

+Dennis Keller finishend?

[@IamDennisKeller]

Totally forgott to answer here ^^ It took a while to get my million dollar collars, but after applying them, my shirts just looked awesome. Still didn´t try out the collar stays, but maybe somewhen later :D

[@latetotheparty7551]

Thanks, Antonio. I really liked the placard advice as it's something I've never paid attention to but will now. I have made it a point to only but shirts that can take collar stays now.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+LateToTheParty7 You're very welcome! I'm happy to help!

[@bondsboy]

Wow thanks for the tips. I've always wondered why my collars fold like that. Good stuff I'll check out million dollar collar as well.

[@Awheatley1995]

Antonio, Have you heard about anyone putting a slight bend in their metal collar stays to have this effect too? I know Joe from Dappered recommends putting a slight bend in your collar stay to have a more "rolled over" collar look. What are your thoughts?

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Aaron Wheatley Hey Aaron - Haven't tried bending it. I'll look into it.

[@hummurabi2010]

I had initial feelings of resistance to liking the video. I've been a MDC buyer since last year. The tips i've already come across and I thought I knew it all then... BAM! The last tip hit me. Great video my man. Cheers!

[@Gaming_Lounge]

Hy Antonio, great and solid Information as always. Thumbs up! My personal preference is the Button-down business Shirt with the hidden button-down button.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Game Inspector Thank you!

[@SoXFireBlade]

that's a great article Antonio. I experienced this issue and this will solve it Thanks!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Fouad AL-Hatlan You're welcome sir.

[@roxannecoyne2744]

I never knew what those insert things were--my dad had a bunch. Thanks for your tips. I'm going to try your suggestions with a flimsy blouse that I want to wear for a headhshot session. It's a nice blouse and I never wear it because i can't stand the floppy collar.

[@jonathanllewellyn517]

Thanks Antonio! Would love to have a video going into some more detail from you about the various collar styles :)

[@DQ_Style]

Gracias Antonio - Ya fui a la página y me compre 3 sets. Mi esposa ya me menciono que algunas de mis camisas favoritas se les cayó el cuello - A ver cómo me va - ¡Saludos!

[@EhteshamShahzad]

This video was extremely helpful. Thank you :)

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Ehtesham Shahzad Glad to be of service :)

[@plhapkido]

Great video, and thanks for the enormous amount of useful information you have provided throughout the years. If anyone has used Million Dollar Collar day to day, can you comment on 1) how durable it is, and 2) how comfortable it is while wearing a tie? Thanks.

[@edgardomartinez5698]

I wonder if a Slick collar in combination with fashion anchors would help?

[@fuadrahman4653]

i have this stupid problem almost all the time. -_- tnx to you for this awesome video :D

[@thomasgilbert9347]

Great information as always. thank you for all you do.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Thomas Gilbert Great to have you here! Thanks for watching.

[@luissalazar2021]

lots of information, I am running to the store. thanks for your help.

[@stylishoversixty9459]

Great information the only thing I would add or suggest you mention adding starch to the shirt placket I would also include lightly starching the collar as well

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Frank Gadson Thanks Frank!

[@jeanamoore5353]

Awesome love to dress my man. learned so much

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+JEANA MOORE Thanks!

[@peterpwn9558]

Personally I'm not a big fan of the tieless suit look. If I wear a suit or a jacket (which does not happen that often) I'll always wear a tie, even if it's just a casual knit tie or something like that. However when I know I'm going to wear the shirt open (basically all my casual shirts) I'll make sure it has a button down collar. The rest of my shirts are purely used with a suit and tie or under a v neck sweater that keeps the collar where it's supposed to be.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+PeterPwn! Great! Yes - ties can really step up your style!

[@SCA.Laurents]

Just the video I needed, right when I needed it!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Lorenzo Perales Great! Happy I was able to help.

[@SCA.Laurents]

Real Men Real Style Thank YOU, for introducing me to Million Dollar Collar and a crisper projection of myself!

[@PolyraclureDeVinyle]

I'm not sire I like the look of such a stiff placket. I get it, but being french, and a little more drawn toward the Italian Sprezzatura, it does look uptight to me. Cheers Antonio, keep making videos!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Quentin Alexandre Nice!

[@AIRFORCEFREAK1]

Just saw that someone else made the real men real style page already on reddit. You should really get over there and build that community. No one is doing stuff like you on reddit.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+USPATRIOT96 Thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into that :)

[@tonys.7712]

What's up Antonio would you help me with linen pants ? Should I buy larger than my true size in order to prevent my junk from being obvious ?

[@Justinallenmarsh]

Could you do a video on the "Cooper Collar" or "One-Piece-Collar"? I found this collar online but almost nobody has covered it. It seems like it should be an extremely common collar because it's designed to be worn open compared to other which are supposed to be worn with a tie.

[@edgardomartinez5698]

Is this better than fashion anchors?

[@tejasburse7780]

Awesome video! Thanks a lot sir.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+tejas burse Thanks for watching!

[@deepun9091]

Thanks! Does it matter what size the magnets are?

[@ashleylemmer8016]

Very informative, thanks.

[@pennrj430]

Great video, I'm going to order a few from Million Dollar Collar. Are they easy to install if you don't have a sewing machine? And can you wash, dry and iron your shirts like usual with them in? Thanks Antonio

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+pennrj430 Great! Why the hassle of sewing? Because nothing else works! Most dry - cleaners and any tailor can install it for you in less than 10 minutes. Click here for more details: www.realmenrealstyle.com/perfect-shirt-collar/

[@mohammad38580]

Antonio, what are your thoughts on wearing a v neck sweater over a shirt with a short, and small collar ?

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+SOUTHWAVE WAVE The collar always looks better when it’s inside the sweater neck instead of letting the collar outside.

[@GabZ_98]

unfortunately， I recently have noticed that I can't button the tie button of my new shirts. I'm considering going custom , because it's been a tough work to get a regular dress shirt without some kind of issues...

[@robertespi78]

Great video. Thank you Antonio

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Robert Espinoza You're very welcome sir!

[@oneandonlyminecrafte]

I really think a video about body language is something that would be really great. Well made video about collars though, it could be very handy to know this.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Oscar Hade You gotta give me more details - I've talked about body language here - www.realmenrealstyle.com/category/communication-skills/body-language/

[@dexterhard]

i solved this problem all my custom made shirts i make the placit on the collar bigger 1/4 inch more not standerd size bigger 2 buttons on top the collar is higher on your neck look much better tighter look sticks out more this is the perfect shirt collar.

[@RBNK157]

The video i waited for ! wish you were talking a little bit more of the collar types

Hey Antonio, 19 year old college student here. Found your videos after I was told I had the fashion sense of a 9 year old. My question is what are your thoughts on the boat shoe/Sperry? As you might know they are quite popular among fraternities, but my question has to do with what category they fall under. Casual?

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Ricardo Cruz Definitely casual, but if you want to stand out with semi-casual slip-on monk straps would be better...unless of course you're on a boat :)

[@phippsey3]

Hi Antonio, is it wrong to wear two sweaters? Like for example I always wear a sweater either with a zip or with buttons (on the top like a henley shirt style) and underneath it I wear another light sweater. I do this because I feel very cold in the winter. The weird thing is it seems like no one does that. I cant even find a single picture on google of a guy wearing two sweaters. Everyone seems to wear just a sweater and a dress shirt underneath, but I feel too cold. What do you think Antonio?

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+H3llHoundd Hey - have you thought about wearing a base layer under your clothes? Thin cotton sweaters can be worn under thick wool sweaters www.artofmanliness.com/2013/02/21/how-to-layer-clothing-men/

great video. i picked up a real nice brooks brothers french cuff shirt at Goodwill for 9.99. I have trouble though in my other shirts keeping them clean around the collar and cuffs from sweat/dirt. i shower prior but still have this problem. any tips?

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Luis Aguilar How do you wash your shirts? Have you tried handwash?

[@Dadee3]

the strongest placket is the bow tie placket

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Dadee3 Ha, you know it!

[@kaspar6969]

when I was on the website of modern tailors. I noticed an option for the coller was called a reverse button, where there was a button hidden on the inside of the collar. I've never heard you mention this option, is it viable, is it something else to consider?

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Kaspar Cameron That's for another video :)

[@kaspar6969]

+Real Men Real Style looking forward to it!

[@joseeyzaguirre9086]

All information regarding shirt collars has the same mistake, do not take into account the neck size. All models shown go well with long neck, but how about short necks, which collar is more convenient and confortable?

[@scottjoseph7885]

if you get a collar stays will you aways have a good collar ?

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Scott Joseph Yes - add the other tips and you should have a perfect shirt collar!

[@Ride113]

Nice 👍🏽

[@salkatari9756]

i know i hate saggy collars thats why i got them buttoned down and they look amazing and classy

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Sal Katari They can work - I use them as well!

[@overheadpotato]

I just cut my strawberry packaging to create a long, thin straw and reinforced it. Then I've sown that inside my shirt like the million dollar collar and got myself the same effect lmao.

[@thahirthahi4162]

good

[@Paul1962]

Great idea, but way to expensive

[@mescnick]

Do a survival skills video

[@LiqCharles]

That product is not available in my country. Anyone know how to make one from Ordinary materials?

[@milliondollarcollar3636]

+LiqCharles My apologies. What country? I can add any. Because they are permanently installed, no "ordinary" materials will hold up for the life of your shirt.

[@LiqCharles]

The philippines

[@milliondollarcollar3636]

+LiqCharles I just added the Philippines as an option. Go ahead and order. Sorry for missing that one.

[@firulais2559]

You forgot mentioning that after ironing your shirt and hanging you should button the top button so the collar stays straight

[@scottjoseph7885]

even polo shirts to??

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Brian Gonzalez Yes that's part of the process too! Thanks for mentioning that :)

[@johnbuentello3868]

Aaron Morino had a great tip about this in one of his videos. Paying attention to both of you guys has been a huge benefit to a person who cares about the way he presents himself to the world like I do and I'm sure most of your subscribers do as well. In his video he talked about the two button collar. I've tried it out myself and it absolutely does have a huge effect on the way the collar stays in place. Here is a link in case anyone doesn't know about Aaron yet. Antonio, great point to think about. Keep up the great work my man. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoGwl2qor6iYiJo

[@scottjoseph7885]

can you get good collar stays at walmart or target

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Scott Joseph Yes you can, but I have not personally used those products so I cannot guarantee. The products that I usually recommend are those that I've personally used and tested.

[@milliondollarcollar3636]

+Scott Joseph Hey Scott, you certainly can. But the problem we are fixing is actually the placket, leading up to the collar. The part with the buttons and button holes. Just like a collar stay reinforces the collar, our placket stays reinforce the placket. If you wear a shirt with the top two undone, you'll love this. Thanks for the comment!

[@signwiser7095]

My last two (2) tailors are male.

[@MrRuelP]

Hey, has anyone experimented with cable tie instead of million dollar collar?

[@nickp9910]

While you were talking, I was thinking, wouldn't starch be a great solution to this problem. Then you said starch. And I got a lil grumpy cause you stole my thunder. So, give me a minute to throw a tantrum ;)

[@scottweisel3640]

It sucks that even better quality shirts have these problems when you go tieless. Even shirts with collar buttons can give you trouble.

[@MrFikrullah]

Would you consider, to add subtitle on your videos?

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Fikrullah Satrio Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see what I can do. :)

[@MrFikrullah]

Ah thanks sir. I love your videos, and the subtitle I'm sure will makes me get easier to understand what you're saying on your video.

[@chh7681]

last time he recommended me those army ball sack pouch underwear. I have had a ton of underwear, I have had versace, meundies, and many other brands. I found meundies to be the best and the ball sack pouch to be not that functional. also the material on that was not as nice as any of the other brands (less supportive, and very shiny after some washes).

[@RealMenRealStyle]

It’s so rare to see a perfect collar these days. When I see a perfect one I get turned on so fast.

[@taylorreineke2442]

Im going to pass on spending 99 dollars on million dollar collar and use a medium size clear zip tie. Collar looks great tho

[@blindlygoing]

The collar on his shirt looks way too wide for his head.

I starch my fiance's shirts. It keeps him looking sharp.

or we go back to the 70's/80's and wear the collar outside of the jacket ;)

[@ismaelgarces5989]

The collar stays, the secret.

[@jeremiahsage9986]

Tip 6: keep your shirts ironed

[@RealMenRealStyle]

+Jeremiah Sage Included in the list :) www.realmenrealstyle.com/perfect-shirt-collar/

[@mattzimmerman148]

So basically it costs $5/shirt for these collar stays and then you probably have to pay a tailor 10-15$ to put them in and go through the hassle of actually finding a tailor that will do this, and wait for your shirt to get returned. So you are out $15-20/shirt and a bunch of time wasted. Or you can just go to Express and buy a new shirt for $30-40. It sucks we live in a disposable culture, but this solution is not a good one.

[@whiterabit998]

This guy has his hands doing way too much

[@GorcStew]

Buy only button downs and ignore the people who say they are casual. The director of the FBI Robert Mueller wore a white button down shirt for his 12 years of service so it is chic enough for me lol. If you hate the look get the hidden ones.

[@hyssop100]
