Wear your Garter Flashes right

[Zardoz]

Hey now! I resemble that remark (being the fellow that started the thread in question)! Over there I was just trying to find a more comfortable wear to wear a knife in my sock, not make a decree about where to dangle ornamental ribbon out of my knee socks!

No offense meant! It's certainly a legit discussion topic, I just personally found it a little humorous that the thread had gone on so long.

Back to the flash metrology discussion!

And absolutely none taken! (i should have put a in the original reply)

I'm always a little startled when I see it pop up under "new posts".

My flashes go wherever I chose to tie them, I am not mo have I ever been in the Royal Rgiment of Scotland so I will not let them chose how I wear my clothes.

When I wear flashes or garter ties I try to have them at about the 3 an 9 o'clock position I don't really know why but I do. I don't mind where anyone else does but that's my preference.

FINALLY! Someone brings up THE subject that has eaten away at me for years (Malox helps). I wear my garder ties in the MOST correct manner. The knots are tied in a perfectly square half-hitch and stationed exactly at 2.273 cm from the center of my chin--however due to a phsyical deformity, that is, my lower leg bones are not perfectly symetrical, my left garder is tied at 2.313 cm from my shin bone. They are also located exactly at 7.992765 cm below the center of my knee cap--but ONLY if they are red, green or yellow. Good fashion demands that I adjust this by .2222 mm for ties colored black, loden, sage, mauve, bottle green, and ocre.

Take a look at my avatar...think for a second, and guage the importance I might designate to the stationing of one's garder ties

Wearing a kilt is fun--doing it in a manner which doesn't have you looking like a fool is a laudible thing for one to consider, as well as how it might implicate other kilt wearers, but in the end, it's an article of clothing. If we were side by side at the pub, I'd say-- loosen up a bit and welcome to XMarks.

I dare anyone to tell this guy his garters are wrong!

I'm with Jack Daw. I would rather have a beer, than worry about what someone thinks of how I wear my flashes. int:

Humorous to say the least. I see numerous threads here asking and receiving advice on which color hose is correct with which tartan at some function, or can someone wear a tartan and shirt combination with or without a waistcoat or certain sporran. Why all the anquish about what is "right" ? No one tells me what color socks to wear with pants, or cares.
The world needs people to use more common sense in most everything, and it certainly can begin in this little corner.
For you guys worrying about what is "correct", first check your mirror and if you approve, then check your wife, girlfriend, sig other and then do what they tell you.

This might lead to the best answer for "The question," yet....What do you wear under your kilt...My flashes...
