Striped hose for an afternoon not so mild...

Well I don't know whether I would get away with wearing them, but they certainly suit you. We don't see horizontal stripes very often, or for that matter vertical stripes. I wonder why not? They certainly make a pleasant change from a 'one colour' hose.

I seem to remember JSFMACLJR talking about someone in Scotland wearing horizontally striped hose, and saying they went well with the kilt.

I've never seen hose quite like those myself but I like, I like. You wear the whole outfit very well.

I've never seen horizontally striped hose before. The colors there work quite well with the tartan you wearing. Nicely done!

My mother knitted them when lived.

Those are beautiful hose -- and what a treasure. Thank you for sharing them with us!

I LOVE STRIPED HOSE!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your look!!!! I wish more people would be daring enough to kick the look around! Here is a pic of my un-official uniform for this past summer. No kidding, I wore my USA Kilts Casual IoS almost everyday of the summer including my 3 day drive across the states from Atlanta to California. If I had to wear hose, I wore my matching IoS tartan stripes hose. They were met with about half "Umm..." and hald "THOSE ARE AWESOME". None the less, I love this combo and I love to see others going for the stripe!!! Good on ya!!!

When I played rugby for Georgia State University, we played a welsh coal miner's team that were on tour. They had an entourage of family and fans with them and one of them had a kilt in the teams colors with matching striped hose to the tartan. The rugby team also wore the same style striped hose...Anyway, I always thought that it looked really sharp. I have run into a few traditionalist while wearing mine that absolutely didn't like them. Go figure...
