Duh, isn't it obvious, sleeve garter manufacturers are getting more aggressive and attempting to reenter the market they have been out of for the last 120 years. http://www.gentlemansemporium.com/store/001224.php
During the the latter half of the 19th century, ready made shirts came in a single (extra long) sleeve length. Sleeve garters allowed men to customize sleeve lengths, and keep their clothing from becoming soiled while working.

This is either a brilliant Lacanian joke, or just more dumbness.

This is actually a bespoke piece from the movie Dunston Checks In, worn by the chimp.
