For decades, this stylish <em>and<\/em> practical item has been somewhat abandoned as an unneccessary item; a relic of a bygone formal age. But, here at Field Grey, we are fully embracing the sleeve garter&#8217;s redux. Here we take a look back at their long and varied history through menswear and uniform.<\/p>\n<h2>Origins<\/h2>\n<p>The word garter derives from the old French word &#8216;gartier&#8217; meaning &#8216;bend of the knee&#8217;, and has come to mean both the device for holding up shirt sleeves as well as stockings.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, shirts were supplied in one size. Collars were then attached depending on the size of the wearer and sleeve garters were supplied for practicality. They were worn regardless of profession and the sleeve garter was a staple in any gentleman&#8217;s wardrobe.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/SleeveGarters1.jpg\" alt=\"Sleeve Garters Vintage History\" width=\"600\" height=\"380\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/SleeveGarters1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/SleeveGarters1-400x253.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>In Uniform<\/h2>\n<p>The sleeve garter has become closely associated with certain professions and, in particular, musical acts, with modern day tributes still wearing them in various guises: barbershop quartets, jazz musicians and Music Hall performers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12490\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12490\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/BarberShopQuartetSleeveGarters.jpg\" alt=\"Barbershop Quartet Sleeve Garters\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/BarberShopQuartetSleeveGarters.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/BarberShopQuartetSleeveGarters-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12490\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Barbershop Quartet performing at Walt Disney World, via Flickr<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The sleeve garter is has also become synonymous with other professions, such as high-end waiting staff and, of course, croupiers.<\/p>\n<h2>On the Big and Small Screens<\/h2>\n<p>Discussion about sleeve garters often begins when eagle-eyed viewers spot them on the big and small screens. Interest was piqued when notorious fictional gangster Tommy Shelby, protagonist in the epic BBC drama Peaky Blinders, regularly sported ostentatious gold versions; there are numerous Reddit discussions devoted to the subject. Costume designers use them to reference both the era and the status of their characters.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12485\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12485\" style=\"width: 615px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/JS88236376.jpg\" alt=\"Tommy Shelby Peaky Blinders Sleeve Garter\" width=\"615\" height=\"410\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/JS88236376.jpg 615w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/JS88236376-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.field-grey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/JS88236376-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12485\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Courtesy BBC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Golden Balls himself David Beckham famously added the sleeve garter to his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-2551930\/David-Beckham-brings-old-trend-form-vintage-sleeve-garters-Miami.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">sartorial repertoire<\/a>, causing a stir amongst his army of male followers.<\/p>\n<h2>On the Catwalks<\/h2>\n<p>Contemporary fashion designers bring sleeve garters into their futuristic or sports-luxe collections. Two designers, Ermenegildo Zegna and Thom Browne, regularly reference the sleeve garter. The former creates entire collections based around the accessory, while the latter plays with the positioning of the sleeve garter in a often whimsical way. Meanwhile, his collaborations with Moncler under the Moncler Gamme Bleu label see him adopt the cyclist&#8217;s sleeve garter as an accessory.<\/p>\n\r\n\t<div class=\"slideshow_container
