    Garter Tie Video

    Matt,

    Do you still have that "how to tie a garter tie" video? I BELIEVE it was you who posted it several months (years?) ago.

    i came across,saved your video after grabbing garters off the "for sale" section but failed to realize that was you.
    LitTrog: Bah. You guys with your "knowledge" and "talents." Always taking the legs out from under my ignorant nincompoopery.

    That is a good video, but the garter ties I have are HOC at 32" and I have 18" calves. I have started placing a plain elastic garter around then once around with the garter tie, overhand knot and flip the loose ends around the elastic as shown in the video. This works great, I have the look I want and don't have a bulging square knot because I can't get the second wrap. I also don't have to worry what length the garter ties are when I order. As has been discussed in another thread garter ties seem to vary greatly in length, 42" would be perfect for me.

    These can be made in any size. The STM gift shop has ordered them from me at 44" for men with larger calves. You should give them a call or email to see what colors they have on hand. Any color can be special ordered.
