Such is the power of kilt addiction that a Master Gunnery Sergeant would be hand weaving garter ties....cracks me up actually.
Those are actually knit, not woven (a point of semantics, but as someone who lives with those who both knit and weave, it's an important difference).
You don't even have to know how to hand knit to make them. Looks like they were made using a basic knitting machine which you can pick up for relatively little cash at most craft and hobby stores. A quick google search found one at Target for only $19.95.
