Clean and neat. The top of the hose should sit below the bone on the outside knee about three fingers down. Patterns and seams should be vertically straight on the front and back of the leg. Both hose should be identical. Both top turn-overs must be of equal length and do not turn the hose past the horizontal seam at the base of the turn-over. The top edge must be horizontally level on all sides of the leg.
Flashes should be clean and pressed. Both flashes are worn under the hose turn-overs with the loops and ribbons extending from under the turn-over. The garter should not be visible. The ribbons from both flashes should hang at the same length on both legs. The leading edge of the front ribbon should be vertically centered on the front of the leg. If the hose has a pattern, the leading edge of the ribbon should line up with the pattern. Flashes should look identical on both legs.
Clean and polished, worn tucked inside the hose on the right leg. Centered in the front-right quarter of the leg with only the handle showing. The scabbard should be completely concealed by the hose.
