Doesn't make for a very good runner, which is required.

Rich, where can I get some shirt stays? I need some badly as I hate nothing more than my dress shirt becomming untucked as the day wears on. I checked my local menswear store and they dont have any man garters as were shown further back in the thread. I had a pair of shirt stays at one time, but they are now gone. 
Incidentally, are those coreframs or did you spit shine? I do prefer spit shine. I spit shine all of my footwear. |
Here's a place I found at Google by searching for buy shirt stays:
Buy Shirt Stays at Army Surplus World
Incidentally, for my entire career I've never used more than one per leg at a time (you can see there are four to a pack). I fasten them to the side of the shirt and then wrap around the back of the leg and fasten to the front of the sock and it does the trick.
The shoes are corframs. I used to spit shine but that was when I had the time for such things.
