Ali,

Thanks for the compliments. Those are traditional garters, wrapped and tied rather than the modern elastic ones. These were hand woven by my wife on her inkle loom, with a decorative design. I don't often get a chance to wear them, but I like to with the castellated top hose.

I can get more details from her on the weaving if you like, or take some close up pics.
