Merci for being so positively hip, Paris.
I had no idea such a thing as shirt garters existed until this moment. They seem like the perfect old-timey compliment to a perfectly-mixed old-timey cocktail. From now on, I’m going to imagine that my bartender is wearing them every time I order a Manhattan.

“My head guy down at the Patterson House in Nashville, Josh Habiger, said the only thing worse than wearing shirt garters is not wearing them, and I feel that sums the situation up perfectly. They are fussy and annoying. They detach and leak out your pant leg at the most inopportune time. If ratcheted too tight, you feel like a dandy Pinocchio, slightly drunk and walking on the moon. Worst of all, they get you singled out in security lines at the airport. To this day there hasn’t been a T.S.A. employee who hasn’t raised an eyebrow when I explain about the shirt garters, ‘No, really, the armed forces wear them to look shipshape, and they keep your socks up while at the same time keeping your shirt from pooching below your vest.’ Maybe if I quit using the word ‘pooch.’ And ‘shipshape.’ ”
