For this purpose, the product has a central eyelet, by means of which the product is attached to the top button. The two collar sides are then fixed by the wings made on the product. This brings the collar into the desired shape and fixes it (during storage.)The item of clothing can either be stored horizontally in the cabinet or suspended on a clothes hanger.
