stiffener

I say, Lane, fetch me a nobbler of brandy; a stiffener, mind.

Lane fetched the stiffener in a soda-water bottle, and it cleared the legal atmosphere.

The bridle or drawing point of the sledge is formed of hide, and is secured to the beak or stiffener.

Why should a speculator use a high stiffener for his cravat?

We use the carbon stiffener on a pre-cut round of canvas or denim, then fit a standard tire.
