    Well, if Big Mikey can have an entire kilt belt made of paracord, then why not garter ties? In fact, you may want to ask him about it... He may have already tried what you propose.

    I agree with Artificer, at first blush not stretchy enough to be comfortable.

    But if you braid it just so you might come up with a narrow that would have a little stretch to it. The problem is braiding a thing with one really long piece of paracord. It would be a challenge with several individual pieces, I am thinking of a six or eight strand flat braid. I don't see braiding that up from a single piece without starting with an enormously long piece and having a basketball sized tangle at one end when your done.

    Maybe though. The color would be great with a lot of different hose colors.

    I used to braid rifle slings with paracord. I used a Conquistador braid which resulted in considerable stretch, and it is braided from a single strand. The problem with that braid, considering the original purpose stated, is that it does not unravel. But I may have to try this myself. I will probably use a utility cord with a smaller diameter than paracord, though.
