Modern usages?
This article is truly nicely done! the illustrations are wondrful and it covers the topic in good detail. I'd love to see some expansion on modern usage of the sleeve garter though. I still see them from time to time on male public school teachers, usually science teachers, here in the USA. I have vivid memories of one of my own science teachers, Mr. Geiss of Millbrook Highschool (early 1980s), never being without his simple sleeve garters. I believe he chose to wear them for utility since he was meticulous about his clothes and the garters kept his cuffs clean during lab sessions. A few of the other male teachers in that school wore them as well, but again, they were involved in science labs. They would wear them even if they chose to don a labcoat. I'll try and find some modern examples of sleeve garter wearing that isn't harkening back to Old-Timeyness and add tghem to the article.LiPollis 18:04, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Homecoming
There really needs to be some sort of citation for the homecoming reference on this page. Having lived in the U.S. my entire life, I've never heard or seen an arm garter of any sort being given to anyone, much less a boy at homecoming. If this is a regional thing, it needs to be clarified as such and a clear example given. Otherwise, this needs to be tossed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.41.20.115 (talk) 04:11, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
