Brick Red Hose

[Sharkman]

May be this isn't posted exactly where it should be, but I'm hopeful that I'll get some feed back.

I need some advice from the Rabble! I am contemplating purchasing some Brick Red hose to wear with my Black Watch Kilt, but I am unsure if the Brick Red is going to be too much. I have considered some Diced hose, but frankly I can not justify the cost at this time of year.

I am going to a dinner soon and I'll be wearing an Argyll Jacket, white shirt and tie. It is not a formal affair and if it was I wouldn't consider my Kilt because I would not be able to pull it off with what I own. Anyway the question remains whether the Brick Red hose would work. I do own Bottle Green, Charcoal and "Gawd Awful" White, but I was thinking the red just might work too.

I know I can trust you're judgement without question!

I would say "go for it" brick red hose look good with almost all kilts. The contrast with the dark BW will be fine.

If I had them, I'd wear them.

I agree. Brick red or claret coloured hose will look very smart with the Black Watch tartan.

Here's a photo of yours truly wearing brick red Lewis hose from House of Cheviot with the Macpherson Hunting tartan (modern colours).

Go for it! The look seems to go well for the military units. Sure thier hose are diced but none the less the colors of the tartan and the red seem to go smashing together. I personaly would add a brick red tie to pull it together.

I have two pair and wear them frequently. Go for it.

Here is a pair of brick red worn with MacLaren ancient and poacher tweed jacket. As others have said "go for it".

I like red hose, what's not to like?

Go for it, one day Ill own a pair too. If you want something a little more subdued you can try a burgundy color which goes quite well with Black Watch tartan kilts. I wear my burgundy kilt hose often with my Hamilton Grey also to give it a bit of classy color. In the mean time Ill just wish for the day when I can find some red bricks in my size.

I agree - go for it!! I bought a pair of the Red Brick Glenmore hose and I think they look great with my Black Watch. Unfortunately I do not have a picture with them on.
