Colored Socks
Rons thread on socks for tennis shoes brought to mind something I've noticed that is lacking. A lot of us are wearing the newer style kilts with boots and non-dress shoes-and there's much choice in the sock department. Black,white and gray are generally it. It seems there would be a market for ankle and quarter socks in the colors we see in kilt hose- oatmeal,charcoal,lovat green,stone,lovat blue etc.

Don't you know that the marketing people say that men can only wear black, white, or grey socks? Okay, maybe navy or dark brown, but that's it!
I'm saying this in a humorous way, but that is the driving reason.

YIKES!!
Mind you - get a few felt tip pens and you could colour in diamonds of whatever colours to match the tartan of your kilt on the white stripes, then draw in the dark X markings for the full argyle.
I used to spend hours designing and knitting complicated patterns for jerseys - the other day I saw a garment, simply knitted in a cream coloured cotton which had then been printed with a multicolour design.
Sigh.

The last time I saw someone wear socks like those, somebody dropped a house on her.

Oh, Wow! Anyone think I should send for a pair of the green/white socks to go with my Celtic Football Supporters Club kilt?

Forget the striped socks Hamish, tie dye is the way to go. 
Almost forgot- thats an awsome kilt! Can you give us some details?

Great looking kilt Ham! But I think somebody once told me that matching the pattern in the kilt with the pattern in the hose was a no-no. Now who might that have been....
