    Also did they wear flashes in 1745? I seen pics it looked like something at the top part of the sock like tassels?

    They wore garters (at least that is how they are referred to today), not flashes. They took a length of wool or wool tape, wrapped it around the upper part of the hose and tied it off. The top of the hose was not folded down as it is today.
