How to tie garter ties with castellated hone?

[DWFII]

Matt,

Thank you! That makes all the difference.

I, for one, would be interested in seeing other ways of tying them, though. Somewhere I saw a pair that looked like the knot was a bow yet the tassels hung down below the garter rather than sticking out to the side. It looked a little fancy but good for all of that.

There is a picture and a brief "how-to" in "So You're Going to Wear The Kilt", page 119 in the 2002 edition. If you don't have it, let me know and I'll scan it up for you tonight.

This seems to be some what of a mystery. There are several old garter knots by what people have said but there seems to be no instructions on how to tie them. I saw on here that Bob Martin did an article on the older knots but have yet to be able to find the article.

Thanks Logan...that might have been the one I saw.

I used to know how to tie a clove hitch (I was Boy Scout back in the day) but even if I could remember, I can see that the standard Traditional garter ties that you see for sale at the STM and so forth are too short. Maybe way too short.

Still and all, that might be next on my list.
