Abstract: A collar protection system, product and method for keeping a collar clean comprises a collar liner covering a portion of an inner neck-contacting surface of a shirt collar; and an outer collar component for location on an outer surface of the shirt collar. There are liner magnets for the shirt collar liner or for the outer collar component; and magnetically responsive material elements for the outer collar component or for the liner. The magnetic and magnetically responsive material are disposed to magnetically adhere the shirt collar liner and the outer collar component whereby the shirt collar is located between the liner and the outer component so as to be protected from being soiled by the neck.
