Shirt stays

[ZDL]

Is a shirt stay a shirt stay or is there some ultimate comfortable Italian made Ferrari model? Need a set.

The only ones I ever knew or used were those black ones that look like suspenders but shorter.

There was a belt type at one time, but I always used the suspender type.

What, having trouble keeping that uber-cool TYV t-shirt tucked in?

:D

I've only ever had the ones like this:

Stopped noticing them after awhile.

I have only used the ones pictured but I have been told the newer ones with the Y end are supposed to be much better.

There is also one that is like a belt but I never used it.

I know this isn't what you are talking about. But, to keep my uniform shirts tucked in, I use this belt, http://www.flexbelt.net/ .

It does a good job of keeping the uniform shirt tucked for an entire ten hour shift. It costs anywhere from $9.00 to $12.00 per belt, depending on where you can find them.

Many moons ago when I was a Cadet at Norwich University these were a way of life. :D

I found they always worked well, especially with a heavily starched and pressed shirt. I couldn't imagine wearing them as a civilian.

I used the plain janes back in the day, but I've heard tell of a new-fangled design with a split (like the previously mentioned "Y"?) upper end. I *think* it allows one to clip to the front panels of the shirt to each side of the gig line, AND to the rear panel to pull down the back. I had to use to sets to get the same effect.

I just get tall versions of the shirts and tuck them deeper.

Agreed...very effective. Haven't touched them since I left the Navy.

Norwich University

Would make you a tread head Army Officer?

Just curious as I do alot of historical reading and Norwich is mentioned a few times as a "trade school" for Armor.

I got my ring, but had to drop out due to financial reasons and family illness. I was in the Norwich Tank platoon for 3 years also and was striving to become a Cavalry officer. Instead I became an enlisted grunt. :rolleyes:

No kidding? I knew a guy in Navy OCS who had a similar story, got his ring at Norwich and did graduate, didn't get his butter bar though and ended up as a MA in the Navy. Didn't commission in OCS either, was one of a half a dozen in one class that got severe rhabdomyolysis and is still an MA2 now.
