    garters for kilt hose

    According to the things I have read here and elsewhere, it was traditional for the garters to be striped instead of solid colors. Does anyone know a good source for striped garters? All of the online shops I have checked offer the same solid color garters.

    Traditionally associated with the MacIntyre weavers from Claddaich on Loch Awe, I'm not aware of anyone e offering this style commercially. Some military regiments keep the tradition. I have some of the version worn by the Scots Guards. PM me if interested.
