The garters nicely compliment the colouring of your kilt and waistcoat.
Maybe you can see them better in this photo from the same evening.


My wife (with me in the photo) wove those some years ago on her inkle loom. They are cotton - if anyone is contemplating weaving your own similar garters, I'd recommend wool as it has more elasticity to it, which helps it stay in place.

She wove enough extra that I also could make a pair of garter flashes to affix to a modern elastic garter. Hardly ever wear those, as I tend to stay away from the elastic garters these days. But here's a photo.

(Did someone say RED KILT HOSE???
