    Durbinite,

    If you didn't get the subtle hint this was dear old Dad letting you know that his birthday/fathers day/Christmas/St. Andrew's Day/Tartan Day/Kilt Day is just around the corner and that he is tired of having his hose down at half-mast.

    Take the hint boy. Get Dad some really nice flashes.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    Flashes are lovely things to have and indeed I have matching flashes for most of my kilts.

    But they are not mandatory and should most certainly not be worn with scrunched down socks. Even with full kilt hose I would never wear a sgian without flashes even if sometimes I wear flashes without a sgian.

    The fun bit is going through the drawer trying to find the matching set of flashes for a kilt when I want them!

You know flashes do complete a kilt, whether it be in a matching tartan or a complimentary colour. They also make a wonderful father's day gift, inexpensive yet very thoughtful. The thoughtful son could get them from the same place the kilt came or the link that fluter pointed out for the garter ties.
    What a nice idea.

    Remember that Father's Day is June 15th this year!!!
