Keeping your shirt tucked in...
My shirt is always coming out in some way, shape, form, or fashion. I have it tucked in tight and I ever where that wrap-around loop belt thing which begins to smell after a while. That still really doesn't work. My friends say I look like Steve Welmer every time down the court. (Wish I had his schedule...)
Does anyone have any other ideas to help keep your shirt tucked in? :mad: :D |

I've never tried it, but I occasionally work with a guy who uses garters. They're long pieces of elastic with clips on each end. He clips one end to his shirt and the other end to his sock.

I suppose you could use short garters...

I tuck my shirt in my under armour and use light duty carpet tape on the inside waistband of my pants.

If you are wearing compression pants or shorts, tuck your shirt into that. You have to make sure that your shirt is straight in your compression shirt or pants, it just might stay. I wear only the compression pants from UnderArmor and they have a tie on them. I tuck in my shirt, tie the string tight and they stay. I tried those gimmicky flex belts and those just do not work very well. I did not like them and went back to tucking my shirt in my UnderArmor pants and my shirt stays in very well. I do not even have to adjust my shirt after half-time.

try buying shirts with a little extra length - seems to help.

Losing or gaining weight might help.
The guys that tend to have the most problem with this have either too much belly and too small pants or too little belly and too big pants. You wear stuff that fits and things will stay in. |

I used to use the "tuck the shirt into the under-drawers" method, but am now getting used to the Flex Belt - which is ok. As has been alluded to, I bought pants a little large for me (c'mon, no belt?).....allowing for later expansion of my waste line...ARGH! :eek: So far, I've been successfully fighting off the growth of my midsection pretty well!

Agreed, I see so many guys trying to stuff ten pounds in a five pound bag. There seems to be a perception that the tighter the pants the slimmer you look, when in reality, the opposite is true. I've never remotely come close to having my shirt come out. I'm 6'0, 175 on the skinny side, but always have shirts and pants that fit. As we all know, the minute you walk on the court, you're getting 'sized up' |

Hmm, my pants fit fine. They aren't loose in the waist.
A co-official recommended those suspender type things. They seem like they'd get annoying though. And that flex-belt always creeps up and starts to show on the outside of my pants...or am I not wearing it right? I have a 6-pack so I have no belly to "help keep the shirt in place." :D |

1. It keeps my shirt tucked in 2. Later in the season after all the pounds I've lost from working games, it keeps my pants up... :D |

As for the flex belt, it only works for me with my sansabelts (I also have a pair of pants from Honigs), because they have a "groove" on the bottom of the wasteband that I can fit the belt into - it does the dual job of holding my pants up (they are a hair big now that I've lost weight) and keeping my shirt in. I have the same problem as you, though (creeping up) in my other pair of pants. They're tighter so I don't have any problem with them otherwise, but I can't wear the belt with them. |
I have worked with a guy who had his wife sew a piece of old shirt from the bottom back and then connects like a babies onezie in front with snaps...work great for him. However I suspect he gooses himself everytime he has a call.....;)

Just get the tall size shirts. If you're only 6'0 you shouldn't have any problems with these coming out. I never do.
|
Lace
Sew some nice, dainty lace onto the hem of your shirt. You will be sure to keep it tucked, always.
|
The "suspender" things and the garters are the same. They connect to your shirt and then either your socks or there is a kind that loops around your foot. If placed correctly, they work and will not bother you. You will never worry about your shirt coming out of your pants.

I got new pants this year and have had the same trouble. Spent my first game doing the Welmer. Had the pants taken in and that worked for a week or two, until I lost some weight. Then I got out the flex belt, and that worked pretty well. But then I lost more weight, and now I have to wear the flex belt to keep my pants up. Probably time to get them taken in again.

Interesting Velcro Set-up
I was working w/ a new partner last week and noticed that he had a couple patches of velcro sewn on the very bottom of his shirt in the front, and then the matching patches in the front of his pants.
Not sure if it worked well or not, but his shirt was always tucked in. Myself I either tuck into my UnderArmor or just in my pants and don't seem to have a problem. |
