Hose tabs in front?

[48HofC]

It is purely regimental preference (in some cases battalion) as to how the flashes are worn. Regimental dress regs can show how different bits of kit are worn slightly differently between units even though it is all the same item army wide, it is still common practice today.

I have noticed some folks wear their hose garter tabs on the front of their leg, as in on the shin, rather than on the side.

Do you mean with one ege touching the front of the leg, or both tabs centered around the front of the leg?

I can't say I've ever seen anyone put the flashes or garter tabs centered on the front of the leg. Undoubtedly someone has done it, but I've never seen it.

I used to wear my flashes right at the front of my legs - But I am so fast that wind resistance would move them to the back.

Mine are worn with the centre of the ends at 2:00 and 10:00.

I've solved the problem. I simply do not wear flashes, but only elastic garters. It's part of my way of simplifying kilted dress.

When I wear them I have the leading edge at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions with no more than an inch visible.
