Ok, so the collar on my Todd's standard jacket curls up on both sides at the points (if that makes any sense). Is there any way to make it lay flat like it's supposed to? I think it may be due to the fact that the top of the collar has gotten wet and the underside has not. But anyway.....if anybody could help me fix this (cough....Holt....cough) I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,

I wear mine everyday, and I notice that the left one curls up, while the right one curls down, and it gets more pronounced when it's wet. Show us a picture; we'll tell you if it looks wierd. Otherwise, if you want to correct it, soak the collar, roll it under itself, and let it dry that way. Even then, this may only be a temporary fix. What you're describing sounds pretty normal.

This might sound odd, but IF the problem persists you can cut a piece of thin rigid sheet plastic to the shape of the collar's ends and use upholstery adhesive to adhere to it underneath the collar. Cut the plastic about 1/8" back from the edges so as not be seen.
This is a little auto restoration technique for troublesome corners.
On nice quality dress shirts you can sometimes find this type of thing sewn right into the collar itself to keep it from curling.
