Cold weather makes tri-blend collars pill because of extra friction and drier fibers. Fix it by washing inside out, skipping fabric softener, air-drying, and choosing smoother outer layers. If pilling persists, consider a ring-spun cotton tee for winter wear. Your collar will thank you.

And if you've got your own trick for keeping collars clean, share it in the Windbar Community—we're always learning from each other.
