Question

[charley-farley]

Does anyone out there know what the arm bands (elastic/spring loaded) used to hold sleeves up on shirts are called. Not seen much these days but it is annoying me as to what the name was/is for them.
Thanks

As far as I recall they were just called armbands.

All the teachers used to wear these when I was at school, but that was some time ago now! LOL!

We called them bankers or croupiers bands

Gosh last time I saw those was on my father's dresser about 1968

lordalex wears them all the time.
I think he calls them cuffbands.

I call them shirt arm keeper-uppers. The shop people know exactly what I mean when I ask for them.
