    how does this look?

    There seems to be alot of threads about boots/shoes today so i thought is see what everyoneout here thinks about my combat boots with the hose turned down over them


    Yes they are white but in my deffence they are the only white pair i own and they have cool green rampant lion on them.

    So what does eveyone think? oppinions?

    Looks OK to me but the Kilt belt looks a little too formal. Try the same look with a "58 pattern belt" or similar. Type it into ebay search, there's a few and they are not too expensive.

    I'd agree with English Bloke about the belt, I wear a more casual belt for everyday use, as for the boots and hose that looks fine to me.

    Looking good, I was about to suggest the Union Kilts belt would go better with this outfit.

    Yeah, ditch the traditional kilt belt with the contemporary kilt.

    Plus, you don't have to roll you socks over your boots, you can just scrunch them down.

    Check out Utilikilts, they have a cool looking belt or two that are more contemporary in look.

    You look fine, but I agree about the belt. You can find a nice wide belt for everyday wear at you local lowes or home depot,look where the tool belts are. I'm not a big fan of rolled or scrunched hose but that is just my opinion, if you like it then go for it.

    Kilt on!!!

    You look good - boots/scrunched down hose/belt... (If they say wear a more casual belt, I'd listen- even though yours doesn't bother me...
