For Hamish-Rainbow Hose
Hamish,
I see you are not accessible via email, so am posting these links here. They may or may not work with your rainbow kilt (and boa.)

Have you ever thought of trying to fashion the boa into a feather bonnet for a Guardsman effect?
Best wishes

The problem I have with many of the products from that website.....
If you look at the photos...
They tend to make your knees and toes point inward.... very... quirky.

Very colourful-you would need dark sunglasses to wear them

They look a tad OTT but their prices are certainly a lot less than you pay for tartan/diced hose!

And, no, the "Guardsman effect" bonnet does not appeal to me - I have never been a 'hat man' - although I HAVE been thinking about wearing a beige Balmoral, just to give the neighbours another good laugh!

How disappointing. I had visions of your leading a company---or a regiment---of us in rainbow kilts, fly plaid, hose and feather bonnets up the high street in Brighton one year as the pipers play "We are Family."

You'll have to be a little more explicit - I am no good with conundrums!!!!!
