I thought there was a recent thread on traditional garter ties...can't find it...sooooo

I worked a twelve hour shift today. Usually I get to come home for lunch and change my kilt hose and take off my flashes or garter ties.

Today, I had to work straight through. Twelve hours wearing the traditional garter ties (mostly seated and with high blood pressure of a fat man) and nary a thought of them. Never uncomfortable, never too tight.

Tied them the latest way with a single wrap then half hitch tucked under.

When I took my hose off there was some imprinting from the elastic at the top of the hose, nothing from the garter ties.

I mention this since my first thought of the traditional garter ties was that they'd be too tight. But they have elastic in them like the flash elastic. The garter tie elastic works just as well but isn't as tight, yet holds the hose up with comfort for TWELVE hours straight.

If you haven't tried them yet, spring for a pair and see for yourself.
