Advice needed - green, orange, gray, black, or suggestions??

Hello, all. Please see the kilt below. Note the gray, charcoal and orange colors. I am entertaining a lovat green or bottle green with this. Would you prefer any of the three shown below over a green variety? If you have other ideas, I'm open to your suggestions, too. Thanks!

Black always looks as goes grey. Lovat green could look good too. Of the 3 you show, I would go with grey.
What shirt are planning to wear with it?

Really tough call. I have seen the older gents wearing brownish argyll jackets, brown belts, brown brogues, etc. I was wearing a black polo with orange hose on it just as a test. Seemed to clash a bit but not without being outlandish. I like gray, black and brown with this for the most. Still open to any suggestions.

I really like this belt from USA Kilts, too. http://www.usakilts.com/catalog/prod...01/image/1267/

Unclevenus:

Given that the tartan in your Pollock kilt is virtually identical to the tartan in my Maxwell hunting, perhaps a couple of photos will help.

I often wear a lovat green jacket and/or waistcoat with my Maxwell hunting, and prefer to wear the House of Cheviot ancient green Lewis hose rather than bottle green hose, which tend to look a bit blue-ish against the green of the tartan. Here I am pictured with the ever dapper Tobus on a windy day wearing the above with a brown sporran and brogues:



When I wear a short-sleeved shirt, I tend to favor a Cabela's tan safari shirt with this particular tartan, as it's not too light a shade, and not too dark:



I like the belt, but think a darker brown might work better with the tartan (I prefer chocolate brown). Of course black always works. I wear chocolate brown or black depending upon my choice of sporrans.

I'm not really a fan of red hose, and while they or the black or gray would work, I'd go with something green with red flashes. But then, that's only my opinion... I could be wrong.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

SM

I think the orange hose look pretty good.

I would agree with this advice and also with Matt who suggests the orange hose look a little "over the top". With your great looking tartan, subdued coloured hose and shirt would be my choice.
