Traditional garters from Matt Newsome

[Fearnest]

Those look very comfy indeed, now to convince the wife that I need them

Aye, there's the rub!

[davedove]

How much stretch do these garters have? I'm asking because I have larger calves and I wonder if they can go around my legs twice.

Also, would they look okay with formal wear, or are they too "rustic"?

[M. A. C. Newsome]

They are about one yard in length, and yes they do have some stretch, but I wouldn't bank that into the overall measurement. If you don't think one yard is enough for your particular calf size, I wouldn't risk it.

As to the second questions, they look great with formal wear. These are all I wear now, formal or casual.
