Mens garter straps

[doctordial]

Ok Gents, I have a question. What do you call the elastic straps that hook to the bottom of your shirt and at the top of your socks. I had yo wear them when I was in the military and I forgot the name of them.If someone knows please let me know and where I can find them. They kept your shirt from rising up out of your trousers.

I believe they are called shirt stays. I tried them for awhile and they did a good job keeping the shirt nicely tucked.

I've always called them shirt garters. I bought them in basic training 13 years ago and still use them every time I put on my dress uniform. It's funny that people make fun of me for using them when I don't have to but I don't play around when I dress up. I don't have many occasions to do so, but when I do I take pride in it.

We call them shirt stays in the Corps.


I typically only wear them with Charlies or Bravos. Hate 'em, but its better than looking like a dirt bag...

Just looked them up to see what they looked like. Spent 1961 to 1988 in the Navy, and this is the first I have seen mention of them. Took aviation officer candidate training and flight training with Navy and Marine personnel. When did these come about?
