Men's Fashion.

May 03, 2008 19:45

Does anyone know a lot about men's fashion from the early part of the 20th century? Or possibly know of someone who does? Because, I'm trying to find the NAME of a particular item of clothing. In the 20s through 40s, men would wear a sleeve strap around their bicep. I'm trying to figure out what it's called, but I haven't a clue!

Anyone?

Cur says that he's pretty sure it was also called a garter (also meaning - in addition to the ones that wrapped around the calves to hold up elasticless socks).

You're right! I asked my mother, and she said barbershop quartets wear them. Googled it and I found 'em! Sleeve Garters.

Be sure to thank Cur for me!
