    ROFLMFAO!!!

    Guess I should proofread before I type at night. Meant to say that the remnants could be used, not what's tied around your legs...

    A lot of my flashes slide right off the elastic rig. I use the flashless elastic to hold up my kilt hose when casual.

    Tried it once without the elastic and the hose fell down from walking. Was embarrassing, was on a found body scene and there were macho cops all over...I was forever tugging up my kilt hose....not the impression I wanted to present.

    That long morning sold me on elastic without the flashes.

    Ron, Life is pretty good if pulling up your socks causes you to have a "long morning."

    I have made flashes/garters with elastic and a glasp, and I have made them with a long strip of thick velcro. Both work well enough, but the flashes I bought (while over priced) still work the best of the 4 pairs I have made.

    Once you get a good elastic and clasp combo for the garters, you can interchange the flashes to fit each kilts.

    Perhaps it was a falling sock that led to his demise? After all, death by falling objects is a common cause of death.

    I'm sure everyone has seen/used this article on making simple hose flashes. I gave it a whirl and made 2 sets of flashes in about 30 minutes for about $5. I actually like them better than the ones I bought. But for those of you who don't like velco, you may have a little more work ahead of you.
