Ah right! In my hundreds of Pinterest pictures I have this:
I just happen to have, in my cupboard of fabrics, a tie that exactly complements the shirt that needs a new collar. Ties are usually labelled "Dry Clean only".
Is that because all the layers make it difficult to iron?
I have unpicked the tie and washed it. I think I will try the above as a collar. If I hand stitch it, or use giant machine stitches, and it does not look as expected, I can change it. Or I could use some "normal" fabric and cut it to the shape of a tie, and use that. I am sure that @Reynard knows what I mean.
The tie was in the cupboard with three others. They were purchased from Charity Shops for experimental purposes in my voluntary work a few years back.
