    Garter Flash Set

    I noticed these in another thread:

    http://www.webury.com/store/Garter_Flash_Set.html

    Would love to get both sets (Bright and Subdued); cost would come to approx. $19.00 USD per set, and excellent deal IMHO. However, the cost of shipping would be an incredible $55.00 USD! Does anyone know of a U.S. supplier for this product? I did a quick Google search but came up with nada.

    I have just ordered the exact same thing from an ebay supplier for £10.95 per set they do both the subdued and the bolder colours. International postage to the States is just £6.00 which is a lot cheaper than you were quoted.

    That makes it about $17.5 dollars per set plus $10 postage.

    Good luck

    I have both sets and think they are a good investment. Lets you ring the changes and change a look for very little effort.

    Regards

    I'm talking about having a very similar packaged set made and offered by the House of Cheviot. There would be "modern" and "ancient" tones in the different sets. Still just talking stage at this point, though, so stay tuned.

    I hope that you can sort something out Matt. I am sure that you would sell lots especially to us gents of substance for whom the traditional garter ties are no where near long enough

    What is the length of the garters in that set? I didn't see that posted on the site.

    I also purchased mine (both sets) on ebay.co.uk. Originally they charged me 11GBP for shipping but refunded 3GBP.
    So total outlay of $47. Good deal!
    These are elastic garters with looped woven flash of about 5" to look like a self tie garter.

    MAC, I hope you do the garter set. I would definitely want to buy one or both from you when and if you do them.

    Just a question for those that like the elastic garters/flashes. Why not use the regular garter ties that Matt sells. I tried the elastic one time and went back to the actual ties. The garter ties are easy to tie and secure.
