MEN'S STAYS AND CHEST BINDERS FOR MANLY MEN

  • "You're right, it was good news when I received the corset. Have been breaking it in and it feels very good. It has adjusted to fit very comfortably. Good back support and noticeably improved posture when I'm wearing it. Thanks for this design it is much better than the one with the low back. If and when I get accustomed to wearing this I probably will be in the market for a slightly modified version, maybe one for tighter lacing and more waist reduction?? Again, thanks for a good product." Eric (9/11/08)

Styles below are based on a modern-day approach to classic styles worn by military men as well as dandies, designed to improve the posture, provide back support, and in comfort to ensure a youthful figure beneath male business or evening wear. Please note that there is no "one" technical definition of stays for the manly-man, though you may hear this term, "man's corset" bandied about on the web or in private conversations. What normally attracts our men clients are more practical fabrics, stiffer or wider boning for more vigorous support, a lower waistline to create a superman shape (think Arnold), and a straighter top and bottom horizontal perimeter. All other aspects of ROMANTASY's high quality, tight-lacing man's stays construction, as for a woman's corsets, remains the same.

We start with a uniquely-shaped under-chest garment shorter in front to allow full breathability, yet provide a moderate reminder to eat well and in the recommended limited portions, quite a suitable garment for serious waist training. We also now offer starting spring, 2008, a savings of $50 for your choice of a single layer unlined stay, or you may certainly opt for our recommended standard lined (bonding and double layer) corset which substantially increases the strength of the stay, and which is particularly suitable for men with a waistline measuring 40" and more.

We follow with our clever steel- boned, lined "CorVest," appearing like any vest apparently in high fashion, yet for the more experimental man or youthful wearer, laced up the back with a zipper disguised under the vest part. The chest-binding vest has become quite popular with our FTM clients as well.

In addition we are pleased to introduce the unique steel-boned and lined "Chest Buster" man sports binder (bra) to flatten and support the chest and upper back.

We will be adding new designs and makers producing the challenging straight-rib stays resulting in a V-shaped masculine torso. Think "Superman" and you've got our functional, handsome, and creative styles shown here!

PRODUCTION TIME: You may typically expect approximate delivery in about two months.

MEASUREMENTS: Please understand that we rely on your accuracy and measurements to construct your stays and therefore cannot be responsible if you mis-measure. However, if we note anything terribly amiss, we will contact you for clarification. Some amendments possibly can be made to a completed stays but understandably these will be at your cost. To ensure the best possible fit if you are preparing measurements you may wish to consult the body graphic contained on this page. Start by wearing underwear or a bathing suit. Tie a string around your waistline. Locate that at your natural waistline, or where you desire your waist to be when wearing your stays (for standard figures, that's typically 1" below the belly button. For fuller figures, look in the mirror and select the proper waistline you desire). It is always better to have someone else take your measurements three times, then report the average. Be sure you measure snugly at the waistline, and somewhat looser around the rib cage with arms down (do not let tape drop in back; hold at chest level; the rib cage is around your lower chest swell), and pelvis. Be sure that you also measure from centerfront of your body to the stays bottom, sufficiently low to cover the lower belly while both standing and sitting. Note that if your centerfront waist to top measurement exceeds 1 3/4" higher than your sidefront waist to chest swell, this constitutes a "sharp point" style and will incur the noted upcharge. Typically for men that center front waist to top measurement will be identical to the side front waist to top, or only .5" taller than the side front one.

Welcome to the exciting world of men's stays, and to the wonderful group of stays and corset enthusiasts around the world in whose good company your order places you!
