It's a British expression and not really the "garter" as you're thinking of it. The third highest medal awarded in England.

British.

  1. the badge of the Order of the Garter.
  2. membership in the Order.
  3. (initial capital letter) the Order itself.
  4. (usually initial capital letter) a member of the Order.
