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

    I don't wear anything else anymore, in fact I really dislike the elastic garters with the flashes. I don't think the garters I got from Matt have any elastic, rather there is a certain amount of stretch naturally built into the weave/knit of the garters.

    Like others here on the forum, I'll only wear the garter ties from STM. I've gone for a couple of hours with the elastic and velcro, BUT take them off and switch to the garter ties. No pinch or marks on my calf/knee after wearing them all day. Any chance for more colors in the larger calf size Matt?
