Hose and Flashes matching or not

[creagdhubh]

By the way, are those the traditional garter 'flashes' that are attached to elastic garters? I have seen these before. I ask because I see a bit of stitching near the top of the ancient blue pair.

All except the yellow ones. Yellow-and-purple looks too Easter eggy to me.

I like them all. They all work with purple socks.

I mostly agree with Sandy; though I would probably think twice before wearing the royal blue garters simply because I don't feel like there's enough colour contrast between them and the hose (i.e., the two colours are both too "deep" to be combined without competing with one another).

I usually wear black knitted flashes with my purple hose, but of your choices, if it were me choosing what to wear, I would go with the burgundy ones in the top row. Those look really nice to my eye.

Oh! The yellow would look spectacular with those hose. I also think the green and red would look really good. I don't like the blue, though- the purple looks washed out to my eyes with the light blue next to it.

I may put a pair of these on my Christmas wish list...

When you get them, Chris, make sure to send them to me so I can "Jock" them for you.

I vote for the top row, too, but I would pick the light blue for last choice. It's too close to the overall tartan color family for me. The others add interest. The bottom row seems to wash out the colors of the kilt.

Not to hijack the thread, but I took a quick look at the site for shooting socks...

...My wife is going to choke me! Too many awesome socks and garters!

You've put me in the doghouse for sure!

Now, back to your regularly scheduled thread:
