Which brings me to a related question...and hope I'm not hijacking the thread in asking...but does anybody have recommendations for material to make garter ties like these? I know the traditional are woven to width and one solid strip. I also know that the Wooded Hamlet website sells wool woven tapes and braids that would work, though they don't have 1 1/4" which I think seems to be the perfect width for garter ties? I'd also like to avoid ordering over the internet and waiting. Any US-Based kilties know if Joannes or some other fabric / craft stores have a variety of colored tapes that I could turn into traditional looking garter ties?
Don't forget that Matt carries them at the museum.
