Old Fashioned Sleeve Garters
A sleeve garter was worn on the sleeve of a shirt to prevent the sleeve from slipping over the hand. It came into a wide use during the 19th century when men's ready to wear shirts also came into style. The shirts came in a single sleeve length, extra-long, and the sleeve garters allowed men to customize their sleeve lengths. It was an accessory that a man could wear regardless of profession and would come in fabrics like silk or satin.
