    Thanks for the great review, Ron! I've noticed the same thing about wearing them myself (and I've worn them exclusively for about a year and a half now). Even when I tie them tightly, they still feel very comfortable and I hardly notice they are there.

    Here's a link to our catalog page for garters:

    Matt, I had noticed the same style of traditional garter ties sold here: http://www.mackenziefrain.com/index....gory_id=129415
    but that they also offer the colors yellow & mustard.

    I have wondered for sometime prior to seeing this if a yellowish color was available for those who desired it, and wonder now if the STM will also carry this color?

    I've asked about a yellow color from my supplier before with no luck, but I'll keep asking and if I can ever get them I'll be sure to post here!

    Terry,

    Thanks for mentioning this -- I've been thinking green hose with yellow ties would be perfect for my Iowa tartan kilt, since green and yellow are John Deere colours, and my grandfather was a John Deere dealer (although he also owned Oliver and Farmall tractors.)
