super-high ghillie laces

[OC Richard]

I was amused to see this photo on Ebay today. Why would somebody put the laces that high?



If you wear ghillies regularly, often for long days, you'll find out that it makes sense to tie the laces around the narrow part of the leg. That's where they will end up anyhow.

This photo shows hundreds of years of combined ghillie-wearing experience. These people have been wearing Highland Dress since they were kids. Their ghillies vary, but are within a fairly narrow range of variation.
