So, what is the preferences or historical significance of garters ties and flash? I see the flashing pretty much come with any tartan kilt (or can at least), but from the forum I get the sense that garter ties are more "traditional".

I would be interested in knowing which is your preferred method of securing your hose and why?

I just ordered some ties and really look forward to wearing them. I hear they are more comfortable and from the pictures, I like their look.

Thoughts?
