They are more comfortable than elastic. Basically you just wind them around the leg and they hold the hose without constricting. You want to put the sgian dubh in before you wind becasue tartan doesn't have the same give as the knit garter ties selling at the STM gift shop. I made a pair out of the leavings from my Weathered Gordon as well.
The kilt is indeed a box pleat by MacWage. We worked out a little trade for sporrans plus cloth. See previous post about what makes a professional kiltmaker.
