“Oh won’t you stay-ay-ay, just a little bit longer…”

Well, I went through day one of wearing a pair of shirt stays to keep my shirt tucked in neatly. I specifically chose, yesterday morning, to wear an old dress shirt which has always been too large for me, thinking that it would be the best test. First off, the stays did exactly what they were supposed to do: my shirt stayed well and neatly tucked in all day long. Second, they were definitely on the uncomfortable side, though as the day went on I got used to them. It was a little like wearing a pair of upside down suspenders.

All in all, they work exactly as advertised. How well they will hold up over time remains to be seen, but that won’t detract from the overall efficacy of the device. Not that I wouldn’t rather just have shirts that were tailored to fit me.
