collar replacing
is it a good idea or not to cut off the old collar on a button down and replace it with a better one? would there be any downsides?

How would you get the same fabric
buy another of the same shirt on ebay or something
i just don’t like this tiny little collar it makes me sad
If you’re gonna buy another shirt why not just wear that one
wdym?
if you're gonna buy another shirt with the same fabric just wear the other shirt
it's probably easier to take in a larger shirt than to replace a collar
disclaimer this isn't medical advice
sorry i don’t think i explained it correctly oops
I have a very low budget (5-15$). i can’t find shirts with collars that i like in that price range. i currently own 2 shirts, both of which i can find used in that price range. my idea was to buy one and cut it up and make a new, better collar that i like, and sew it onto the first shirt
oh i see, using the fabric of the shirt instead of just transplanting the collar
i mean it does still sound very difficult to get right
gotcha. so do u think it would just be a waste?
i wouldn't try it personally yeah
if you trust your own sewing or have a tailor you trust (though i imagine that's over budget) i guess it's fine
i'm not super qualified to speak on it
sounds like an easier time to just look for a different shirt in your price range
gotcha, thank you!!
