NV Holders: S-Holder - premium shirt stays, shirt holders, shirt garters, shirt tuckers for men

I work in law enforcement, and I'm one of few officers who bothers wearing shirt stays after the academy. I like looking sharp, but the cheaper shirt stays you can buy from Walmart and other stores weren't cutting it anymore. The elastic started fraying, the metal started rusting and the clips wouldn't hold on to the shirt anymore. I went through at least one cheap pair a month.I baulked at spending nearly $50 on a pair of shirt stays, but I'm glad I did. These are not only more comfortable (though they will take some getting used to if you're used to the ones that attach to your socks) but they hold the shirt much, much firmer. The addition of the third clip really seals the deal and keeps my uniform looking professional throughout my all too frequent 16 hour shifts.My honest opinion of these - if you aren't going to wear them REGULARLY, they're probably not worth the investment. If you're a man who wears a suit (or dress shirt, for that matter) only a few times a year, just buy a cheap pair from Men's Wearhouse and call it a day. If you wear suits/shirts or uniforms on a regular basis, though... these are a must have.Time will tell about the longevity of these shirt stays, but so far I think they've been worth every penny. If my opinions change, I'll update this review accordingly.

I held off on providing a review of these until I had used them for several weeks, and with different types of clothing.Thus far, I am very satisfied with the construction and performance of the product, and I appreciate some of the subtle design considerations that are not specifically outlined by the seller.I have worn these with both dress shirts and golf shirts, and found that the adjustments provide ample range for adapting to slightly longer or shorter garments, and also to different fabrics. For example, synthetic blends tend to look too taut when held with the same tension of cotton shirts, but these S-holders allow you to reduce the pull so the fit looks correct.I also want to emphasize the brilliance of the design. I was skeptical of the thigh elastic at first, but after wearing them for a couple weeks, I noticed that the elastic on the thigh allows the holder to shift slightly up and down as you sit or stand. The taper of the thigh encourages the elastic band to drift lower as you move, effectively "calibrating" the tension of the shirt straps. The band can also pull up slightly and expand, along with the straps themselves, for bending or reaching movements. The net result is that the system does not feel constricting but maintains a good tension. The three straps also work well, encouraging the pulling the front and back of the shirt flat, and allowing any excess material to bunch on the side, if required.Comfort it also good. I followed the sizing guide provided by the vendor, and after wearing these for five minutes, I forget they are even there. I was concerned that they may feel tight while seated, but that has not been my experience.I'll also note that the straps, clips, and bands themselves are very low profile, and generally will not show on slacks or pants, unless they are very tight in the thigh. The clips have held up well so far, as have the plastic adjustments.It remains to be seen how well the product will hold up over regular use. I don't expect the product to last a lifetime, but I would hope that the elastic, clips, and plastic tensioners hold up for a year at least.You will still occasionally need to adjust your waistband to allow the shirts to evenly tighten, especially if you like a very taut look, but I have not had to re-tuck, tighten, or re-attach any of the clips yet.Overall, I'm very pleased with the purchase, and assuming they hold up for a reasonable lifespan, I will be an on-going customer. You can judge from my history that I do not provide many reviews, but these deserve one.

I tried to save money and cheap out with other options but I ended up returning them because they just weren’t up to my standards. These are worth the extra money. They don’t slide around, the elastic is thick and sturdy, and the clips stay in place well. These work best with pants that are not super form fitting or else the elastic band might be slightly noticeable when you sit down if the pants are a lighter color. This will likely differ with size and body type, but that has been the case for me. There are a range of sizes, and men and women can wear them.

best shirt stays on market forget they are even on

I have used these for several days now and they definitely do what they're designed for - my shirts stay tucked in and I like that my appearance is neat and tidy, no sloppy shirt syndrome. They do take some getting used to. Learning where to clip, how much tension on the strap and how to get the third one clipped to the rear of the shirt - getting easier each time. One observation: there is no left/right so after taking them off, i find I have to readjust the straps each time, when I feel like if there were marked, I could just use the same 'settings' as the last time worn. Regarding quality, these seem to be well made, no loose strings and seems are tight and strong. My advise - order a smaller size and wear right above the knee. I find this MUCH more comfortable than around the mid-thigh, they stay in place (dont ride up higher) AND its easier to use on longer shirts. Happy to report no ripped shirts from the clamps either. Two thumbs up.

So, the build quality looks and feels decent. The clasps seem to stay in place quite well, however, the most glaring issue, and reason I am going to another brand is the fact there is not clasp to allow you take out on/take off the shirt stay from around your thigh. This is horrible inconvenient, and means if you have to use the bathroom, you have to unclasp the clips, or just extend them out to their fullest (which feels awkward). Furthermore, you cannot leave these on your shirt like other traditional stays. They have to be removed in order for you to take your shirt off.So, my takeaway is the concept is excellent, the execution needs some tweaking. Make one that has a clasp for the strap around your thigh, and then take about $15 off price (your competitors are selling for $12, and are more functional)
