I've been using brass collars for ages - I love them because they can be bent to hold the collar in roughly the right position without a tie. My colleague suggested trying steel legs (the black ones attract magnets) and pairing them with magnets for an even sharper look. By combining these stands with a magnet (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008PT6P1Q/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0) I have the perfect solution - and it really is awesome! Sometime a few years ago I bought a beautiful leather suitcase with 16 legs from an upscale men's outfitter. I had important meetings and forgot to tuck the corset into my shirt, and while I'm sure no one else would have noticed, I felt more secure with a starched collar. This resulted in me spending an insane amount on this kit (about $95). These tents are of similar quality to this set but at a much lower price. Highly recommended.
