I decided to pick up a pair of the traditional garter ties from the Scottish Tartan Museum well I got them yesterday. I have to say they are so much more comfortable than elastic flashes. I will be ordering more, the difference is one that you have to experience to believe, they do not cut into your legs at all. One other thing about them, when was the last time someone commented on your flashes? I wore them to work today and a girl that I work with had to come up to me to comment on how much she liked the flashes, that has not ever happened before.
Here are a couple of pictures


Here is a shot of how they tie up


I would not hesitate to recommend these to anyone, if you don't have a pair they are very worth it.
