On a barely-related side note, would these types of knee garters actually have kept up their hose? What about for a working man, would these types of knee-garters functioned effectively if one was being physical in their work?
Thanks,
Jonathan

This detail from a portrait of c1750 is possibly a guide. The red based striped pattern looks like what are called Caddach Gaters.

Yes they work, as long as you do your part and tie them correctly. Of course you have to tie them to loose, and to tight to learn the "Just right" when it comes to cut cloth bag hose and worsted garters.
