hummmmmm leaving your shirt out of your pants, a marvel idea!!!!
will sarge pass the inspection?
so that leaves super glue or a cummerbund.
i would opt for the latter easier to remove for the #2. (if you get my drift)

Duct tape is what I've used for years!
Don't use any of that Gorilla Tape stuff. That schitt really hurts when you have to rip it off!

I like to wear my pants below my *** so 8" or so of my underwears shows.
I'm 65 but I feel it makes me look younger.
That and my phone mount which I have never used.
Oh and my backpack.

Just tell me when you are going to have and accident or a car turn left in front of you and I'll tell you when you should be wearing protective gear.
C'mon man... but I cannot disagree with you.

Tucked in. I went on a ride with my shirt tucked in (first time) and it was nice not to fiddle with it from the buffeting raising it up.
