Sleeve garter

A sleeve garter is a garter worn on the sleeve of a shirt. It came into wide use especially in the United States in the latter half of the 19th century, when men's ready-made shirts came in a single (extra long) sleeve length. Sleeve garters allow individuals to adjust sleeve lengths and prevent cuffs from being soiled while working, or kept at the correct length when worn under a jacket.
