less common style flashes

[Bad Monkey]

A number of years ago I noticed a different style flash that seemed to be more common in the 40's & 50's. Most likely that's just because of the photo album I was looking through but I don't think I've ever seen a similar style flash other than on the odd military kilt pic.
I've been home for a couple weeks so I dug through the old boxes of stashed stuff until I found a roll of black wool twill tape that I originally picked up to replace the binding on a rug 20 years ago. In 10 minutes I knocked out a pair of flashes that I really dig; understated but still have a bit of flair to 'em. I was happy enough with them that I wore them to Saturday night's gig downtown. I think I like this style better than the usual pair of flashes. I might run out this week and grab some red twill, too. Red flashes are my favorite color but I didn't want to shell out the bucks when I already had black in the hoard. I'll take pics of the process when I make up the red ones.
