2. I've always heard 'em called collar stiffeners

You should be able to get them pretty much any place that sells sewing stuff.

15. or "stiffies" for short (nt)

3. I bought some Geoffrey Beene shirts that had those

I think they are just shirt collar tabs. I went to the store and they told me how to get some from the company. Don't have the info anymore now. Sorry.

6. Men's wear stores sell replacements.

And they are called collar stays.

If you have your shirts laundered, remove them, if possible or they will crease the collar.

I hate them and rip them out at the first opportunity - but I like looking like a slacker.

Anyway, dwick, starch works wonders.... just use a lot of it.
