collar stiffeners/stays, prefer metal/steel

Hi all,

Any places in Finland that sell collar stiffeners/stays, preferably made of metal/steel? What are they called in Finnish?

Thanks.

Kind regards.

You could try Stockmanns or Sokosbut I doubt - I bought mine online. I don't know if "kaulusluut" translates as collarbones, but thats what they're called.

I know them as collar stays, though apparently some people do call them collar bones and a few other terms.

Metal ones can attract unwanted attention at the airport. Then again Don Lucchesi was killed with his own spectacles in Godfather III, so what's really safe any more?

As he persisted, I was obliged to tootle him gently at first and then, seeing no improvement, to trumpet him vigorously with my horn.
