I'm guessing you have larger-sized calves. From fringe end to fringe end the garters measure 36 inches but from seam to seam only 31"-32". I believe the House of Cheviot makes extra long ones (about 43"-44") or at least they used to. Unfortunately that doesn't fix your situation right now. There is probably a few alternate methods of tying them which should achieve a satisfactory look. I'll experiment on my own and let you know!
