A garter is an article of clothing comprising a narrow band of fabric fastened about the leg to keep up stockings. In the eighteenth to twentieth centuries, they were tied just below the knee, where the leg is most slender, to keep the stocking from slipping. The advent of elastic has made them less necessary from this functional standpoint, although they are still often worn for fashion. Garters have been widely worn by men and women, depending on fashion trends.

Garter is widely used across the apparel manufacturing, uniform, sportswear, lingerie, and garment accessories industries, where controlled elasticity is important for fit and garment construction. In commercial production, it can be incorporated into waistbands, sleeve openings, leg openings, straps, cuffs, and other areas that need flexible support without compromising wearer comfort. Its elastic construction makes it particularly useful for manufacturers producing garments that require repeated movement and consistent fit.
For fashion and garment businesses, garter can also support custom tailoring, alterations, children’s clothing, workwear, and performance apparel. It allows manufacturers to create functional garment components while maintaining a practical construction process.

To help maintain the elasticity and shape of Garter, wash garments containing elastic components using a mild detergent and cool or lukewarm water. Avoid harsh bleach and prolonged soaking, as aggressive chemicals and excessive exposure to moisture may weaken elastic fibers over time. A gentle machine cycle or hand washing is preferable when the garment allows it.
Air-dry elasticized garments in a shaded, well-ventilated area rather than using high heat. Excessive heat from tumble dryers or direct sunlight can reduce elasticity. If ironing is necessary, use a low-temperature setting and avoid placing a hot iron directly over the garter. Store unused garter away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight, preferably in a cool, dry place. For product availability or care-related inquiries, contact Gold Fortune Textile.
