What are Starched Collars?
The Timeless Appeal of Classic Collars
Collars are a defining feature of formal wear, offering a crisp, structured look that enhances any ensemble. Traditionally, these collars are treated with starch to achieve a firm, polished appearance that holds its shape throughout the day.
Historically, collars symbolised sophistication and attention to detail, becoming a staple in men’s fashion during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Over time, while fashion has evolved, the appeal of a perfectly starched and laundered collar remains timeless. At Barker Formal Wear, we continue this tradition, crafting collars that blend classic elegance with modern style.

Inside the Process: Revitalising Collars
Re-starching and dressing a collar involves an intricate process which goes through 60 different stages to achieve the finished product, with each stage being equally crucial. Traditional methods are used.
Due to the requirement of skills, knowledge and the right equipment, there are very few people who are able to produce a collar to the old-fashioned quality and Barker receives collars for re-processing from all over the world.
