Why Your Dress Shirt Collar Fails You and How to Fix It
You button it up. You steam it. You starch it.
And within minutes of leaving the house your collar’s flopping, your placket’s twisting, and you look like you slept in it.
It’s not your fault. It’s your shirt.
Let’s break down why every traditional dress shirt is designed to fail, and how to fix it once and for all.
The Root Problem: The Weakest Part of the Shirt
Most people think the collar is the issue.
It’s not.
The real failure happens in the placket, that strip of fabric running down the center of your chest where the buttons are.
Why it matters:
- The placket holds the weight of the collar
- It sits right at your sternum, the visual “spine” of your shirt
- If the placket collapses, your collar has no structure to stand on
Translation? You look sloppy, fast.
Typical Shirt Placket = 2–3 thin layers of fabric + cheap interfacing
It's like building a house with a cardboard frame.
Temporary Fixes Don't Work

Problem |
|
Starch |
Works for 15 minutes. Then sweat, movement, or sitting kills it. |
|
Collar stays |
Help the tips of the collar, but not the collar base and do nothing if the placket folds |
|
Dry cleaning |
You’re paying to delay the inevitable |
None of these solve the underlying issue: the weak structure of the placket itself.
The Permanent Fix: Reinforce the Placket
That’s where Million Dollar Collar® comes in.
Our patented technology adds a hidden reinforcement inside the placket, exactly where the structure collapses.
Think of it like adding a backbone to your shirt.
Once it’s in, the placket stands tall.
So the collar stays open. The shirt looks crisp.
And you look damn good, all day.
