I use them when I wear boots or if it’s cold outside and want warmer legs.

I don’t know if it has to do with real men, but I don’t see the need for sock garters. As long as my socks don’t slip into my shoes, then it doesn’t matter if they slip down. And I tend to wear shoes that they can’t slip into. Maybe its good for anchormen and business men when everything needs to look perfect. And women, I think it looks very sexy when your socks slip down and you flash a bit of leg just below the pants. If you think the garters themselves look sexy, thats great. Other people might also. But please…for all the women out there….please dont worry about your sox falling down!

“Goofy”? No, he looks *playful* with Lola. It’s very sweet and cute–and it looks genuine, not posed. :)

Thank you! I love that one, though he said “you picked one with a goofy face”

Awesome picture–it’s timeless too. He could step back into the 20s and 30s and be right at home!

re: nigh impossible to find… tell me about it! we had a heck of a time finding a source for them and were over the moon about finding a US maker!
I love that my Mr dresses so nicely and seeing other peoples reactions is priceless, the older folks especially seem to enjoy seeing a properly dressed gentleman in public.

This has little to nothing to do with socks, but…

Some writers, one of whom is a friend of mine, are doing a book tour. One of the stops is Powell’s Books, which may be the one Niqkita works/worked at. I thought some of you may be interested.

My lovely mister has always been QUITE the sock garter enthusiast, so I can’t wait to get him a couple good SD pairs for his birthday (they’re nigh impossible to find elsewhere, even high-end menswear stores)!

I love this post!! And of course, Bsti and Lola, you both look fabulously handsome. =) An adorable picture, indeed.

P.S. Saw the pics of the bomber jacket: looks great! Speaking generally, it’s wonderful to see a man freely (and fearlessly) express himself in his own style. Now *that* makes for a real man. ;D
