Speaking of Argyll hose to match the Army tartan...if I were to have them made, what colors should I request? The tartan basically has 5 colors as woven (which vary from the official thread count "pallet," as I have mentioned).

  • The large block colors are green and black.
  • Accent stripe colors are blue (navy or royal-ish...depending on tartan weaver), yellow, and khaki.

(note: In fairness, the green stripe between the two yellow stripes is a tad bit brighter than the base color green...but not significantly so to warrant consideration in the hose pattern.)

So what FOUR colors would you pick out of that for Argyll hose? Green and black with blue and yellow pinstripes? Green and blue with Khaki and yellow pinstripes? What say ye? Or do I just send a swatch of tartan and let the hose makers choose and be surprised when they arrive?
