acpie360 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 It is rather annoying to find myself frequently tucking my competition squad shirt back under the belt. I think the problem has something to do with the polyester material since I don't have this problem if I wear an ordinary t-shirt. Has anyone tried using a pair of shirt stays?

RangerTrace Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Same way I've done uniform shirts for over 20 years.....pull the tail through your underwear. Looks funny till you pull your pants up, but it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 This is why I buy from tech wear. They make a tall/long version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chutist Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Do they make a Tall FAT version.... I need that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZinSC Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I've got the Tall TechWear version and it will still come untucked. I now tuck into my underwear ( sorry if that is TMI, but you asked for a solution ) and i never have a problem. It's a little weird at first, but it works great.

Chills1994 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 They have two downsides: 1. When the end comes loose from the sock, it snaps upward vertically and smacks you in the balls. 2. They look really dorky with shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanb Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I'm glad someone mentioned the shirt stay coming. Loose and smacking you in the balls. After 8 years in the marine corps I had enough of that happen I never want to deal with it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 8 years in the marine corps I had enough of that happen I never want to deal with it again Had to wear them as a freshman at Colorado Springs...running the marble strips in our blues. Every now and then, that sock end would work its way loose and SMACK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davsco Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 my dirt bike jerseys have beads/lines of silicon on them that help grip the pants insides. maybe try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look really dorky with shorts. OH, HELL NO! If I saw someone wearing those I would assume they lost a bet or reach down and unclip them from their sock so that they DO get smacked in the balls.

Rangerdug Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) They have two downsides: 1. When the end comes loose from the sock, it snaps upward vertically and smacks you in the balls. 2. They look really dorky with shorts. When in the Hell, did you ever run and take a knee with them. All of us who have worn them... Wore them in dress uniforms. Not in battle uniforms or PTs. They make a sticky rubber like belt, you can wear around the waist that will get the job done. Or as a RangerTrace pointed out go for the "in the drawers" option.

Magsz Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 For the shirt stays, just use a set with loops on the foot portion. It prevents the ball slapping from happening. Again, I will echo what others have said. If you're wearing these with shorts...reassess your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrydoc Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I do believe Truspec have trousers with material on the inside waist the (sticks) to the shirt tail, maybe try that and then just use those trousers/ shorts for those days you wear the shirts.

Rangerdug Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) I stand corrected, some individual military experiences may vary. It must have been awful. I would love hear all your war stories from the academy. But seriously you want to compare an Air Force cadet life to 3gun, especially after you had GrumpyOne and others throw out better more practical options. That is what we are talking about is practical options, when you do pop one, what do you have to do to fix it? Most of the time it requires going to private place and dropping trou, which is obviously much easier then just tucking in your shirt.
