In furthering our mission to bring you functionally dapper and modern accessories, we have partnered with LuxeAvant  to offer you their amazing Slick Collar!

 

Get the Perfect Shirt Collar Look (Instantly)

The Slick Collar Keeps Your Shirt Collar Standing Up Straight and Prevents it from Folding Under the Weight of Your Jacket

 

  1. Insert Collar Stays into the Collar Leaf Collar Stay Pockets
  2. Adjust the Slick Collar to fit your shirt collar size
  3. Place it around your shirt collar
  4. You've got the perfectly straight collar that will not fold or collapse

 

 

  • The Slick Collar Shirt Collar Support Device is designed to be inserted into a folded shirt collar, providing the collar with structural integrity that keeps the shirt collar standing up and looking crisp
  • Adjustable in Size: The Slick Collar is adjustable to fit shirt collar sizes 14.5"(Small) to 20" (3XL)
  • Further Adjustment through Trimming and Bending: The tips can be trimmed for shorter or spread shirt collars. The Slick Collar can also be bent and slightly curved for additional adjustments
  • Ideal for use under a jacket: The Slick Collar prevents the shirt collar from collapsing under the weight of garments worn over it, such as jackets, sport coats and blazers; therefore, preventing the droopy, saggy, curled shirt collar look
  • Maximum Comfort and Natural Look: Made from from lightweight, flexible and durable food-grade material that is designed to bend and flex with the neck and body's movements in order to provide a natural look and feel, while maintaining the shirt collar's crisp structure.

 

The Slick Collar is the best and most innovative solution

 

  • The age old sloppy collar problem has led to several inventions such as the addition of buttons to the collar tips in order to fasten the front of the collar to the shirt and keep it from folding. This is the “Oxford Shirt” look that doesn’t always work, in addition to making the shirt less formal as Oxford Shirts are on the casual end of the dress shirt scale.

 

 

  • Some have resort to Magnetic Collar Stays that perform a similar function as the Oxford Shirt buttoned collar. However, these magnets often come loose and fall off, and do absolutely nothing for keeping the back of the shirt collar stiff. The use of adhesive collar tabs are also sometimes used to anchor the collar tips down. These sticky collar tabs often fall off and can get expensive since they have a very limited lifespan. Ultimately, although collar stays are a must to prevent the collar curl, even the best collar stays on planet earth will not be able to give you the perfect shirt collar look.

 

 

  • A less popular method of attempting to resolve this issue is through the use of sewn in shirt placket supports to keep your collar front standing straight. This expensive alteration method involves the modification of your shirt by opening the shirt placket stitching and inserting pieces of plastic into the upper placket area where they are permanently sewn into the plackets to give them rigidity. This will give your shirt plackets an unnatural stiff and rigid look, and does not actually provide any support to the collar’s tips or back area that are prone to curling and folding. The plastic can also deform if put through the washer and dryer, leaving the shirt deformed and unusable.

 

 

  • So in short, save yourself a whole lot of time and money, and get yourself the Slick Collar!

Reduce, remove, reverse

There’s no easy fix for climate change, and no solution that will singlehandedly solve the problem. We have to try every possible option, from those that leverage natural processes to new technologies that lock carbon away forever.

We need existing solutions that can make a difference now, and emerging technologies that could have a huge impact in the future.

Shopify’s Sustainability Fund pays the early-adopter premium for carbon removal, funding pilot projects and generating demand to kickstart the market and drive down future prices.

What are carbon offsets?

A carbon offset reduces the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere so that increased greenhouse gases elsewhere have a net impact of 0. For example, suppose a truck releases 150 g of CO2 in one mile, and actions to preserve a forest remove 150 g of CO2 from the atmosphere. If you purchase one carbon offset that supports forest preservation for each mile that a truck travels, then the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere remain the same. CO2 accounts for 95% of the climate impact from burning fossil fuels for transportation.

About KFG

Hi, i'm Zaman!

Founder of Kicks for Gents holding Best Hombre Fashion Pocket Square Holder
I started Kicks For Gents back in 2017 to fix a problem I was having.

The Problem

You see, after years of wearing sneakers, I found myself in an office wearing hard leather shoes, loafers, and boots. If you haven't tried it already, putting insoles into leather shoes just doesn't work. They won't fit. The real estate inside of a leather shoe is more valuable than in Manhattan or Los Angeles. Unfortunately, orthopedic shoes that allow for larger insoles can be very expensive, disposable, and look a little funny. 

In the pursuit to find a pair of comfortable leather shoes, I was not willing to give up style for comfort. The more I searched, the more money I spent on what were either shoes that were comfortable but frumpy or gorgeous but hard. Traditional store-bought insoles were too big for almost all of the shoes and they just don't fit in leather shoes.

The Solution

Kicks For Gents® shoes are made on special lasts designed to be able to accommodate quality insoles without looking like traditional orthopedic shoes. We accomplish this by leveraging the insights and experience of an amazing team of Pedorthists, Orthotists, and Prosthetists, including Bio-Medical and Manufacturing Engineers in developing our insoles. The result is a collection of insoles that are as comfortable as their thicker store-bought counterparts, but much thinner,  longer-lasting, and outperforms traditional foams or cork.

 

 

Value Driven

As both a brand and boutique, we make products, but we also sell products from other brands. You can trust that we only support products and brands that align with our values.

As such, our product offering must adhere to at least one of the following criteria: sustainability, repairability, eco-friendly, functional, novel, fair trade, start-up founder, minority owned, or made in the USA.

Our Insoles & Shoe Comfort Technology

After years of research and development I leveraged the insights and experience of an amazing team of Pedorthists, Orthotists, and Prosthetists, including Bio-Medical and Manufacturing Engineers.

While our insoles take many forms, the result are insoles that are as comfortable as thicker insoles, but much thinner, they last longer than traditional foam or cork, and they come with a host of other benefits, including antimicrobial properties. 

 A COMMITMENT TO ETHICAL CRAFTSMANSHIP
Every pair of Kicks For Gents has been designed to be long lasting while using high quality materials and modern comfort technology. Built to last, our kicks are repairable to avoid the landfill!

Why Limited Inventory?

Reduce Waste

Manufacturing shoes in small batches reduces the waste, energy and fuel consumed when overproducing shoes that might just sit on a shelf, go to a discount outlet or, worse, be destroyed. 

Limited inventory allows us to keep overhead minimal. We ship from a small office and can adapt more quickly to bring you what you want.

  

Value

Quality over quantity, it's that simple. Small batch manufacturing allows us to adapt more quickly to customer demand. Whether it be adapting to changes in shoe innovation, design, or materials, we are constantly testing the waters.

Quality Materials

Leather is just like skin. Without moisturizer, it can dry up and even crack. Since our shoes are handcrafted at the time a customer places an order, this ensures that the leather isn't sitting around getting dry in a warehouse or on a shelf.


Soft supple leather will be the most comfortable to wear, reduce the break-in period and will quickly mold to the foot.

For example, this is why when you find shoes at an outlet store, the leather is hard and it can hurt to break the shoe in. The reason for this is that by the time the shoe reaches an outlet store, the leather has been sitting in a box drying up for what could be years.
