Traditional Garter Ties, A Test and Testimonial

[JRB]

When I finally find another job I plan to replace all my flashes with garter ties. I have a few pair already (generously given to me by a fellow X-Marker) and much prefer them.

I mention this since my first thought of the traditional garter ties was that they'd be too tight. But they have elastic in them like the flash elastic. The garter tie elastic works just as well but isn't as tight, yet holds the hose up with comfort for TWELVE hours straight.

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?

I've had my STM garter ties for a few weeks now and have worn them several times. As mentioned, they do not dig into my flesh and leave a mark like the garters holding flashes.

Steve, have you tried them with the castellated hose yet? Let us see a picture if it works for you.

I know I should provide pics. I've been too lazy to buy a digital camera for my lonesome. But, I'll get my one and only Bond girl to photo my shanks before too much longer. You have my promise. Thanks for asking.
