On another note, I seem to notice more men in these photos wearing traditional garter ties, rather than modern elastic garters. I believe this is a growing trend.
I noticed that too, and I'm glad to see it. One can only hope that we will look back in 20 years and shake our heads at the awful 'fad' that was elastic garters with flashes.

I did also note that at least one fellow was wearing "shooting socks" that had different coloured cuffs and matching (long) garter ties.
