The Set And How It Works
The Set consists of three components: a comfortable shirt, stylish socks, and handy shirt stays. It’s everything you need to stay tucked and pulled in all the right directions. When you purchase the three components together, you get a $13 discount on the overall cost of the items than if you purchase them individually.
Our patent-pending technology is designed to be just that: easy. Traditional shirt stays take time to attach to both shirt and socks – and they don’t always stay attached! Our specially designed system solves all the problems of traditional shirt stays while also offering shirts of unparalleled quality. The shirt stays click into the shirt with easy side-release clips, and slip onto the socks with an easy to use hook. Each shirt stays is adjustable, allowing you to customize the exact amount of tension you want for the perfect tuck.
After a few minutes, you will not even notice you are wearing it. ACUMEN shirts are made of the highest quality materials, are breathable, wrinkle free, and have stretch. The shirt stays are made of a soft elastic and are adjustable. What you will notice, and so will everyone else, is how sharp and tucked your amazing shirt looks!
Yes. The shirt stays are adjustable and can be easily shortened or lengthened to provide the ideal tuck to your shirt. It’s a cinch!
Yes, but they will accommodate most adult men’s foot sizes.
Yes, they do! And they are detachable, so ACUMEN shirts can be worn with or without the shirt stays.
No. ACUMEN shirt stays are part of our specially designed patent-pending Set. Compared to traditional shirt stays however, our system is easier to put on, more comfortable, and much more secure. If you wear shirt stays, trust us, you will love the Set!
ACUMEN shirts are specially designed with a flatter than normal hemline, so the shirts can be worn untucked and still look better than most traditional dress shirts. At ACUMEN, we want to help men look great in any situation.
Yes. Our super soft, stylish socks can be worn without the shirt stays attached. If you want to be sure your socks stay up and your shirt stays down however, we recommend wearing the full Set!

ACUMEN Exeuctive slim fit shirts are more narrow in the chest and core than ACUMEN's other dress shirts (by 2 inches). All ACUMEN shirts have some tapering, as we find too many mass-produced “standard fit” shirts are baggy around the middle making it even more difficult to keep your shirt tucked.
Simple. Use the same sizing chart as the dress shirts and your undershirt size will be the same as your shirt size.
Care Guidelines
All ACUMEN shirts are made to be wrinkle-free. We recommend they be machine washed in cold water, tumble dried on low, and pressed with a cool iron. It’s best to remove the brass collar stays before pressing.
ACUMEN shirts absolutely can be dry cleaned. We have even found dry cleaners who will dry clean the shirts with the shirt stays still attached! Before dry cleaning, it is always a good idea to remove the brass collar stays first so they don't leave indentations when pressed.
Shirt stays can be machine washed cold and air-dried, or tumble-dried on low heat. They can also be dry cleaned, often still attached to the shirt! We recommend asking your dry cleaner first if they can accommodate that.
Socks should be machine washed on the DELICATE cycle with like colors and tumble-dried low.
ACUMEN undershirts should be machine washed cold with like colors and washed only with non-chlorine bleach. Tumble-dry low and iron with low temperature.
