I am asking because I don't know.

I was looking at diced hose lately for a Clan MacOnion kilt. Aesthetically I think black and red diced hose look great with the Clan MacOnion red sett. Mostly red, got some black and dark green in it, no problem, why not.

Here is where I have just enough knowledge to be troublesome. To my inexpert trying to learn eye, the only difference between black and red diced hose and Clan MacGregor bias cut cadadh is one is knit and the other is sewn up from woven cloth.

Is this an exception that proves the rule that patterns from different clans should not otherwise be worn together?

Or should only MacGregor's and a few close other clans wear black and red diced?

I did check my history book, the MacOnions and the MacGregors never did get along with each other back in the day. Because of that I am inclined to skip the diced red and black hose with the Clan MacOnion kilt.

If I had bought them would that have been an enormous social gaffe, or just another foolish American, or are red/black diced hose fair game for any sett?

Thanks.
