I tried to find information here on this subject, but I couldn't get a definitive answer. I will be going to the Cincinnati Caledonian societies St Andrews ball in november. I have a brand new Prince Charlie that fits, a brand new tux shirt that fits, the Black Bow Tie The Fly plaid and The Kilt. Oh and a fancy sporran.

I have the Ghillie Broughs, and some new hose flashes, but I have a question about the hose.

Every photo I have seen shows the person in a pair of white polyester hose, not the heavy wool Piper hose but the ones usually sold or rented when you rent a kilt outfit. I know there is a big argument over whether or not those are proper. But what I don't know is for a black tie event like the St Andrews ball, if they are appropriate.
