Shirt Studs and Collar Studs
Don't know what a collar stud is? Think of James Bond, not the
man, just his eveningwear! Black suit, white shirt, black tie and……little
black buttons down the front of his shirt. But they were not buttons!
There are two types of shirt studs; both look a bit like old game
board playing pieces but in gold. Neither of these have any black
on them but perhaps in the near future we will add black to our
inventory. The "shirt stud" is used down the center
front and to hold the collar on at center back, they can also
be used on the cuff in the lower buttonhole. Remember the collars
were not sewn onto the shirt and neither are they in the Laughing
Moon Shirt pattern, which you will find listed in our pattern
section. The longer stud is a "collar stud" and it is
used in the center front of the collar to hold the two ends together,
it's longer because it has more layers to go through. These longer
ones can also be used in the upper buttonhole of the cuffs.
And the big question…..what end gets exposed? Both studs
have the same sized base; the shank lengths differ, as does the
top knob size. It is the top knob that is worn facing outward. |

Classic Tuxedo Shirt Studs and Cuff Links
00-87SS-90 shirt stud
00-87CL-90 cuff link

These shirt studs and cuff links are made of silver metal and
black plastic “stones”- a very cost effective alternative
to real onyx without losing the classy look. These cuff links
and shirt studs are great for theatre and film use or for that
one time event. Why pay almost twice as much for this at a Tuxedo
shop?

Zigzag Wires
For all of you not in theatre and who have not been searching
for the extinct zigzag wire this product is an historical product
used primarily for supporting ladies high neck collars in Edwardian
times. Very delicate and flexible these little wires were sewn
into an organza casing in ladies lace collars. They supported
the collar up the neck without being visible or adding any bulk
or weight. Originally they were covered in a fine thread casing
but those have not been made for over 10 years. "Farthingales"
has had these wires reproduced of rust resistant steel without
any covering. Rumor has it these little wires are perfect for
puppet ears to so don't limit their use to the traditional. We'd
love to hear what you do with them. |
