Frayed Flashes

[creagdhubh]

I too like the crisp look on the flash-style of garters. Chas, we are referring to the bits of wool, silk, or grosgrain material, attached to elastic garters - not the traditional garter ties, that yes, are indeed supposed to have fringing. I simply trim the edges occassionally with very sharp, sewing scissors, however, I only do this from time to time, as my flashes do not fringe that badly - I wear the "double" flashes from Lochcarron, when I am not wearing traditional garter ties. The former are made of a lightweight wool - I do not, or ever have, wear tartan flashes.

Cheers,

Kyle, I too was talking about the tartan flashes, but I too have never worn them. From day go, I have always used garter ties.
