I'd invest in a pair of wool kilt hose for the winter. It's definitely worth the $20 or so you pay for the warmth.

The Kilt Store has them for $15.10 for the X-Marks discount. With your black and Black Watch (it is Black Watch, isn't it?) kilts the black or charcoal hose would look great. (Of course they go up to $29.36 with shipping....)

Depending where you are in Maine you might be able to pop down to North Conway, NH, where the Scottish Lion shop is located, and you could pick up a pair of hose there too. They have black hose for $25.
