Button Tags

Abstract

A method of securing a shirt collar to a shirt and shirt collar kit structured and arranged to instantly transform a button-less dress-shirt collar into a button-down collar. Useful in situations where a quick “dress up” is required for work or social occasions, thereby eliminating the “fly-away collar” phenomenon that diminishes one's appearance, and make any dress shirt immediately presentable, with or without a necktie. The Button Tags can also be used to eliminate gaps in the chest area.

 providing a piercing tool;
 wherein said piercing tool is adapted to puncture holes within said shirt and said shirt collar;

 wherein said button post is attached to said button body at a proximal end thereof; 
 
   providing a button holder comprising:
 a button holder body; and 
 a button post hole;
 wherein said button post hole is adapted to releasably hold said button post therein; 
 
   using said piercing tool to puncture a first hole in said shirt collar;   inserting said button post into and through said first hole, such that said button body remains on an outside surface of said shirt collar;   using said piercing tool to puncture a second hole in said shirt;   placing said button holder upon an inside surface of said shirt adjacent said second hole to thereby align said second hole with said button post hole;   inserting said button post into and through said second hole and into said button post hole of said button holder, to thereby releasably secure said shirt collar to said shirt.

 wherein said piercing tool is adapted to puncture holes within a shirt and a shirt collar; 
   a plurality of collar buttons, each comprising:
 button body; and 
 a button post;
 wherein said button post is attached to said button body at a proximal end thereof; 
 
   a plurality of button holders, each comprising:
 a button holder body; and 
 a button post hole;
 wherein said button post hole is adapted to releasably hold said button post therein; 
 
   wherein said piercing tool is adapted to puncture a first hole in said shirt collar;   wherein each said button post is adapted to be inserted into and through said first hole, such that said button body remains on an outside surface of said shirt collar;   wherein said piercing tool is adapted to puncture a second hole in said shirt;   wherein each said button holder is adapted to be placed upon an inside surface of said shirt adjacent said second hole to thereby align said second hole with said button post hole, such that said button post can be inserted into and through said second hole and into said button post hole of said button holder, to thereby releasably secure said shirt collar to said shirt.   
     
     
         9 . The shirt collar kit of  claim 8 , wherein said button body is formed as a circular disk.
