Shirts With A Worn Collar

RE: Shirts With A Worn Collar Post By Fred. (Guest Post) (07/15/2008) Can someone explain to me why the tips of my collars turn white? The store where I bought them says it's moths. Something about moths liking the stiff part of the shirt. Under a magnifying glass, it appears that the outer dyed material has been removed revealing the white material underneath. I've also seen similar wear on the edge of the back of collars and cuffs. These are not old shirts either.

You may have to replace that part with a new piece of material. A friend does this all the time with her husbands' shirts only she does it with the new ones. He likes the look of a western style shirt, but the costs are too high. so maybe this could be an option for those who still like the look of the shirt they have.

(This is good after you have used both sides of the collar.) He won't be able to wear it with ties anymore, but he can still wear it to go out, if he likes that sort of collar.

Turn it over and reinsert it in the neckband, keeping everything even. Carefully resew it. I've done this a few times and it is not difficult.

Then I`d roll up the sleeves to a comfortable length for the children and button up the sleeves. Sometimes they were used for art work (or other messy kid-type activities. I`ve worn one myself when cleaning around a wood burning fireplace. Hope this helps(easier than sewing collars back on) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Shirts With A Worn Collar Post By (Guest Post) (01/17/2005) Funny, I was just talking to someone about this very thing the other night! This person could sew and what she did was take the collar off and reverse it. Sounds like a plan!
