Reminded me of the elastic mothers used to give us to hold up our winter socks .. they were made of elastic tied in a knot and invariably lost during the day so that one sock would be up, one round yer ankles like 'Just William'. As long socks were the apparel of winter, taking these off at night was an excruciating experience ... legs cold from the frost and by hek! did the elastic marks itch for a while, used to scratch until they nearly bled, apart from cutting your circulation off for most of the day of course. Some things have definitely improved.
Do men still wear those suspender things for socks, can't see the point myself, and was never privvy to where exactly they were put, below the knee or above.  |
Yes people still wear them. It was one of the less exciting things I had to buy in my old job.
They are worn in the middle of the calf, with the little suspender type fastner holding up a quarter hose sock [short sock.]
There are also sock suspenders for three quarter hose socks [knee length ones.] They are really very much like the knotted bits of elastic of old, and are mainly used for shooting, or to wear with plus twos or fours.
All sock suspenders aren't that good for your circulation.
