Great brand for everyday office wear and yes, their slim fits choices do save one the added effort of needing to get things tailored once you figure out the best fit.
I haven't worn shirt stays since leaving the military and highly doubt that I'll ever go back.
It's not that I don't appreciate the look (they do provide the aesthetic desired), it's just that it's too uncomfortable and time-consuming for daily wear when a well-tailored shirt and military tuck provide a similar look without the hassle. I'm sure if you got in the habit of wearing them every day, it'd be a different story and take less time--but you get what I'm saying.
Even on the formal occasions where one should consider it (weddings or formal dinners), you usually have a jacket on top anyway that normally covers up the problem.
As you mentioned, it saves from having to have shirts tailored. I get maybe one year at best out of my address shirts before I have a tear in my sleeves, regardless of brand or fit. So it’s illogical for me to pay for tailoring. I also liked their exchange/return policy when I was first trying to figure out what worked best.
