Some Days I'm Just Proud To Be Kilted

Thanks Jay, no, I didn't know that about the kilt pin design. But then I'm probably the only E-1 with an Honorable Discharge...

And hey, new Robert E. Lee (reverent pause of respect) avatar guy...I'm lovin the traditional garter ties. You can see my ham hocks in my pics. I wear my flash elastic maxed out and its still snug. The garter ties have stretch in them. At first I didn't really believe they stayed up, but they do. At first just did a single tie and let the folded over hose hold things in place. They worked fine. Then followed Matt's experiment of tieing them once and tucking them under the original turn. Works even better.

I only have the red, white, and black...more to buy yet...but they're very versatile in color matching too.

Hey, I'm glad you explained that. I tried an overhand knot based on Matt's passing mention of this other method and it didn't work too well. I'll try tucking the ends under the first wrap and see how that goes.

I too have the woven ties and they work great. The only time my hose slip is when I kneel down alot. Unless the garters are real tight, my calves seem to push the hose top down each time and eventually they end up 6" too low.
