So I'm thinking, why can't a set of flashes be made with a solid loop of elastic? Why does it need a clasp? If I size the elastic to my legs, I could then just slip them on and off before I put on my shoes. I know it would be a bit like a garter, but why not?
It absolutley can be done, it's the way I've done all my flashes. I only own one pair of store bought which is done with a double sided velcro strip (one side hooks ,one side nap) catches the socks like crazy which makes me crazy. needless to say they don't get used much. fortunately handmade flashes are QED.
