Okay, I have ordered my kilt. It shall be an 8yd pv in MacLeod of Harris kingussie pleated to the green with the red stripe showing on the center pleat and flashing on every other pleat. My goal is to eventually wear the kilt daily as a work uniform, I will just have to buy more kilts . As a army vet I tend toward the military/professional uniform look in my work wear. As such I will not be dressing to the smart daywear level much less the "business formal". I am a professional trapper specializing in removal of wildlife from structures and properties. This entails ladders to access roofs and attics as well as low crawling in basements and crawl spaces. I am prepared for that as I will not be regimental and will wear appropriate undergarments so that I can shed the kilt and don a jumpsuit as needed.
For the rest of the uniform I have settled on a khaki, preferably dark or british, shirt in a military style but past that point I hit a wall on hose and bonnet. I want to pick up the red as that is the "livery color" of my business but I also wish to retain the muted colors of Tue khaki uniform look. So far I am considering a fawn bonnet w/dicing and next comes choice of hose and garters. Should the dicing pick up the color of the hose? Also being daily wear multiple pair of hose will be needed so economy is a consideration.
So far I have found military khaki hose at WPG for a good price. I also have found other fair priced hose in other places but it looks like lovat green or blue are the choices there. I also find darker greens, navy and red but in wonder if that much dark (kilt and hose) would be to much to low and in the case of the red be to bright.
What say the rabble? If I choose the khaki or lovats would red garter ties be just right? And should the dicing pick up the hose or tie color?
BTW leathers will be brown and footwear brogues boots, florsheim gaffney to be exact.
