Vote.
My opinion: I have no idea why they even make them. They look silly and serve virtually no practical purpose. I hate when I find a nice looking shirt, only to find that it features a button-down collar.

More of a rant...I agree with you, popeye...but overall a meh.
I usually steer clear of them...so it doesn't really bother me.

I love them and never buy a dress shirt without it.

Convince me as to why I should accept them. I'm not really scared that my collar is going to flip up.

for the seldom occasions when I wear a tie, a button down collar is helpful to make sure the tie stays tucked in where it is suppose to be...

Anything that prevents a popped collar can't be bad now, can it?

Why don't they make button-down collar polos?

You should be, scooter boy!
I prefer them actually. I always end up losing the stays. They're less formal though.

I'll join your ticket if you agree to ban tasseled shoes as well.
