Hose tops are worn under the spats. They must be clean and tidy with the top edge worn three fingers down from the bone on the outside of the knee. Patterns must be vertically straight and square. The rear seam is vertically centered and straight on the back of the leg and vertically aligned with the rear point of the spat.
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.
