System and methodology for providing shirt collar support

Abstract

Aspects for supporting a turndown shirt collar are disclosed. In a particular aspect, a semi-rigid shapeable device includes a rear region that forms a substantially semi-circle shape having a first and second end. For this particular embodiment, each of a first terminal end and a second terminal end are respectively oriented upwards and inwards relative to the rear region via a first bend at the first end and a second bend at the second end. In another aspect, a method that facilitates forming a shirt collar support is provided, which includes shaping a semi-rigid shapeable device into a substantially semi-circle shape. In a further aspect, a turndown collared shirt is provided, which includes a collar band comprising at least one collar sleeve configured to hold a shaping device.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A semi-rigid shapeable device, comprising:
 a rear region, wherein the rear region is wire-shaped and configured to form a single substantially semi-circle shape having a first end and a second end; and   an ends region, wherein the ends region includes:
 a first wire-shaped portion extending from the first end to a first terminal end; and 
 a second wire-shaped portion extending from the second end to a second terminal end, 
   wherein the single substantially semi-circle shape of the rear region is configured to provide a single opening directed towards the ends region.   
     
     
         2 . The semi-rigid shapeable device according to  claim 1 , wherein the rear region includes a squared edge opposite to the single opening. 
     
     
         3 . The semi-rigid shapeable device according to  claim 2 , further comprising a rear bend at a midpoint of the squared edge, wherein the rear bend is configured to orient the midpoint upwards relative to opposite halves of the squared edge. 
     
     
         4 . The semi-rigid shapeable device according to  claim 2 , wherein the rear region comprises:
 a first side portion extending between the squared edge and the first end, wherein the first side portion includes a first intermediate bend at a first intermediate point, and wherein the first intermediate bend is configured to orient the first intermediate point downwards relative to opposite sides of the first side portion; and   a second side portion extending between the squared edge and the second end, wherein the second side portion includes a second intermediate bend at a second intermediate point, and wherein the second intermediate bend is configured to orient the second intermediate point downwards relative to opposite sides of the second side portion.   
     
     
         5 . The semi-rigid shapeable device according to  claim 1 , wherein a portion of at least one of the rear region or the ends region further comprises a non-slip coating. 
     
     
         6 . The semi-rigid shapeable device according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one extension point configured to elongate at least one of the rear region or the ends region. 
     
     
         7 . The semi-rigid shapeable device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first terminal end comprises a first attachment mechanism, and wherein the second terminal end comprises a second attachment mechanism. 
     
     
         8 . The semi-rigid shapeable device according to  claim 7 , wherein each of the first attachment mechanism and the second attachment mechanism are configured to be attachable to one another. 
     
     
         9 . The semi-rigid shapeable device according to  claim 7 , wherein each of the first attachment mechanism and the second attachment mechanism are configured to be attachable to a collar stay. 
     
     
         10 . The semi-rigid shapeable device according to  claim 7 , wherein each of the first attachment mechanism and the second attachment mechanism are at least one of a hook mechanism or a magnetic mechanism. 
     
     
         11 . The semi-rigid shapeable device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first wire-shaped portion includes a first bend at the first end configured to orient the first terminal end upwards and inwards relative to the rear region, and wherein the second wire-shaped portion includes a second bend at the second end configured to orient the second terminal end upwards and inwards relative to the rear region
