Shirt Garters

[C/ZOOMIE]

Anyone here have trouble with tucking your shirts in and keeping them in? I USED to have that problem until I discovered Shirt Garters. I now look AWESOME and not to mention profesional in my CAP uniform while wearing them as it keeps the shirt tucked in and unwrinkled. Heres a picture:

I have some better ones that I used for my blues. Instead of clipping onto your socks like those do, then actually have a loop that you put your foot through. This eliminates the possibility of them popping off your sock and I find them to be much more comfortable.

These are definately a must for every cadet. They make a significant difference. They are the best and nearly the only way to have a representable military tuck. Here is the catch--we ladies cannot wear them with skirts.

I absolutely agree, I required the entire armed drill platoon to have them for inspection and for competition. It makes the uniforms look much more professional.

I prefer the singles as I can attach them to the front of my shirt which looks difficult with the "Y" garters. But yeah. I believe that by the rank of C/MSgt. Cadets should already be using them.......

Well thats where most cadets after hitting the ROTC level wear the Princess shirts with the skirts instead of the standard 1620 shirt.

LOL, you sound like a salesman. I don't use them, I don't seem to have much of a problem with it, unless there is a lot of sitting and standing and back to sitting, stuff like that. I plan on buying some so thanks for the links.

Shirts get very interesting for females. There are five different types of authorized shirts. The "princess" style is the older style. The "tuck-in" is the newer style. So if you have the new style jacket (which I'm guessing all of ROTC does)--although the regs do not care which shirt you wear--the tuck in is designed to go with the new uniform. Here is how you tell the difference easily:

Belt loops - New Style - Tuck In (looks sweet with uniformity cause the girls have nice shiny belts showing just like the guys)

No Belt Loops - Old Style - Princess - some really, really old style princess have an elastic loop at the first button and a splotch of velcro for the tie tab

I have an idea. I'm going to post before and after pic's of me wearing my CAP uniform with and without shirt garters. Bear with me people!

I currently wear 6 shirt stays at a time. I don't like them for one reason, they mess up my crease's. I spend two hours on my Sharp and I mean Sharp creases and I put my shirt stays on and they just become flat. I am really interested in this "Shirt Garter Belt" it's like shirt stays but it keeps your crease looking like you just ironed them.
