Did you know that kilt flashes are adjustable?

So I've been wearing kilts for about 8 years or so now. About two years ago I purchased my first kilt flashes. They fit great, i loved them. A few weeks ago I purchased another pair and I put them on and they were a little snug. I thought, "Oh my calves must be getting bigger, or these are just smaller flashes" (I know I'm not very bright some times). Anyways, I wear them for about 4 or 5 hours before I can barely feel my feet. The cirrculation had been cut off due to the tight elastic. I took them off and there was a deep imprint of the elastic around my calves, I had pretty much used them as a tourniquet. WHO KNEW THEY WERE ADJUSTABLE!?



So yeah, I just thought i'd share my dumb moment with everyone.

D'oh!!

If you've got big calves like me, they don't adjust enough.

Where did you get those good looking khaki flashes in the photo?

Hey - I just learned something myself. I am new to Kilts myself and it is good to know stuff like this! Thanks Ain McFye!!

Some, not all, flashes are adjustable.

I have some flashes that don't need adjusting because they connect around using velcro.
