    WAY more comfortable. I hardly every wear flashes any more. I don't have any of these but I have several sets of garter ties. They are THE way to go in my opinion.

    With a flat cap of course.

    I have a set of tartan flashes that came with my kilt but I wear them rarely. I don't use them with elastic, but rather use a wide, soft woven shoe lace, threaded through their tops, as a garter tie. It makes them more comfortable.

    But my first choice are still the garter ties (soon to be augmented by some of these great ties). Next to them, IMHO cheap flashes look like post-it notes with notches in them.

    Disregarding my BIAS, although I have several sets of "flashes ( that came with my kilts ) I wear them VERY VERY seldom. In fact when I go "out & about,& I choose not wear my "TIES" ( I also have 5 sets of "plain Ties from MATT ),I usually wear a tie made from a ribbon ( none of it shows )
