I found some shirt stays (garters) on this website - Supertuks - ordered them, tried them out and WOW, do they ever work well!

They look quite a bit better than most of the other offerings out there like the really plain, generic ones that you can find on E-bay and other such on-line ordering websites. The quality is very much first rate. The pair I originally got I'm still wearing daily and that was over 2 years ago. They are better than the current offerings in many ways:

1. The elastic used is superior, as wide as the straps they use for dress suspenders (1.25 inches). In fact, I believe that the elastics are the same in materials and quality as those used in suspenders, not like the "bra-strap" el-cheapo elastics they use in other shirt stays.

2. The shirt clips are very well made and will not lose the black rubber tabs used to secure the clip to the shirt hem.

3. The clips used to attach to the socks are like those similarly found on suspenders, allowing for quick and easy disengagement without the removal of your slacks. Also, I have not yet had a sock clip become disengaged and snap me in the nards. This is because the stays are of the Y-configuration and are generally worn on the outside of the legs.

4. The 2 "branches" that form the "y'' are allowed free travel through the D-ring at the junction (not fixed like on other shirt stays) allowing more freedom of movement and mobility as you stretch forward or back.

5. Unlike the other shirt stays on the market that make you look kinda stupid when one of the shirt clips comes undone (allowing the bottom strap to drop out from your pantleg and creating questions), Supertuks have a fail-safe elastic cord that prevents the stays from coming apart if a shirt clip should come undone. The cord will hold the setup together indefinitely until you can get to somewhere private to re-secure them. This cord is a first when it comes to shirt stays.

These are just a few points that I can think of. Have a look at the website sometime and see for yourself!
