Armsbands – Garters For Sleeves
Armbands came into use in the latter part of the 19th century, when men’s shirts had long, loose sleeves. They were then, and are now, a practical accessory. Worn on the upper arm, armbands shorten the sleeve and help prevent the cuffs from becoming soiled.
Sleeve garters are a familiar sight in Hollywood movies, worn by gamblers, musicians, lawyers and wild west heroes. And armbands have successfully transitioned into a fashion accessory.
