Collar Stud Conundrum

[DerMann]

Well, I had some trouble finding new production collar studs that had the correct length for a front and back stud.

I thought I had found the solution in a Church Supply website (cannot recall the name). I just received them today, but the heads are just shaped differently, the length of the shank isn't actually longer.

This hinders me from attaching collars to my boiled front shirt.

I called the local Fred Astaire Dance School, as many people mentioned dancing schools as a good place to pick up certain items like collar studs. They don't have any.

Does anyone know of a website (aside from eBay) in the US where I can get a long shanked collar stud (preferably for less than $2 a piece).

Vintage Shirt Co.

Try the Vintage Shirt Company:

http://www.vintageshirt.co.uk/

It's in the UK, but the cost should still be relatively low, all the same.

I don't need 10 pair, though, that's why I didn't buy them when I originally placed my order with them :/

I've found a Canadian company that sells them individually for $0.85 a piece. Bally shipping in $6.95


Also, time is a constraint (can't wait the 1.5-2 weeks for delivery).

eBay only has vintage studs that are well over $30 a pair.

DerMann,

I can probably turn up a spare for you, if you'd like to send me a PM?

Thank you very much for your offer, however, due to time constraints, I cannot order from the United Kingdom.

The cost of shipping within a week's time is atronomical for international packages, and there is no guaranteethat they will arrive at a certain time.

This site looks to have a short/long combo for $6.95, but they are not solid metal.

They don't show up on the website, but Amazon Dry Goods has some brass ones they sell with their linene (cotton bonded to paper) collars. Give them a call.
