    If I'm reading that right, you get four colors plus the elastic garters for 10 pounds. That's actually a pretty good deal. They remind me of the ones we wore in the Boy Scouts so many years ago. I'm like Rex, the elastic doesn't bother me, I may have to get some of these. Thanks for the link.

    I have no problem with elastic. But what caught my attention was the name of the store. By the link posted, you could not tell that the store was a UK site. I wasn't sure what I was going to see by clicking on the site.

    Likewise, when you're a Hillbilly that has broken through to upper middle class, you call yourself "Hill Williams."

    Because of my large calfs the elastic one eat into my leg and are uncomfortable almost immediately. Traditional garter ties are the only way, if not the only comfortable way to go.

    Doesn't anyone sell elastic garters that are big enough for larger calves? Between the Jocks and the Men Of Substance, I think there would be adequate demand to produce them.

    I just bought the "normal" garter flashes from kiltsandmore. While their kilt hose is a no go for me (can't even get them to mid-calf) the garters are no problem. I tried them on for about an hour and didn't feel them at all, no pain, no constriction.
