I’ve used the same pair since high school when “shirt stays” were mandatory for JROTC. Luckily I’ve grown so the longest setting is the right setting. I think it’s the best $10 I’ve ever spent; it doesn’t just keep me from re-tucking shirts, it makes me look sharper by not letting my shirt ever sag as it loosens. Re-tucking a shirt just seems indecent to me since I was raised that to do it properly without shirt stays requires unzipping your pants, reaching through, and pulling the shirt down to remove any lack of trim to the front of your shirt.

Yup, 100% on all points. Shirt stay adjustments are minimal. You set it up once and they're good for most shirts in my experience. Everyone has their own acceptable style threshold though, but saying shirt stays don't solve a problem that needed solving is akin to all those C/C++ programmers claiming garbage collection doesn't solve a real problem because you can handle memory manually and debug it using valgrind. Sure, you go ahead and have fun with that, I'll be over here wasting less time and looking more stylish while doing it. ;-)
