For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.sglazier, here in the US there are probably some socks somewhere that aren't elasticized, but when I was a child my father wore socks that had to be held up, and those devices were called garters as well... The woman's garter belt and stockings were certainly a source of fanticizing for young men of the period...
