On a barely-related side note, would these types of knee garters actually have kept up their hose? What about for a working man, would these types of knee-garters functioned effectively if one was being physical in their work?

Thanks,
Jonathan

This detail from a portrait of c1750 is possibly a guide. The red based striped pattern looks like what are called Caddach Gaters.
