The "Can of Worms" I've opened by only posing two Wee Questions., I have gotten some Great Ideas by reading all the comments. I do want to make my own Kilt Hose Garters. I've been online researching, and I think I know what I am going to use for Fabric. I have this Clan Farquharson Tartan Scarf the moths decided to visit. They put about 6 holes in the scarf. I was thinking of making my Hose Garters out of this old Scarf. I am not that Good with a Needle and a Thread, so will have to find someone who is to put a hem in the cut side. I think they would look good with the Black Hose...
My Kilt I am having made is a Casual Tartan Kilt. All wool, a 13 ounce, 5 yard.. I am told this kilt can be used for everyday use as well as Semi-Formal use.. I don't think I'd Gear it up with a Prince Charlie Jacket. But I could see me wearing it with a nice Day Jacket. But I do want to wear the Tartan Flashes with it on occasion.. Other times, I'll wear my Solid Colour Flashes...
Until the Farquharson Tartan Kilt arrives. I'll practise with my Utility Kilt. I don't do the Scrunched Socks and Boots or T's with it. I like to get in a nice shirt with one of my Tartan Neckties, if I am not wearing my Ghillie Shirt. and of course the Hose and Flashes. I also use my Sporran when I am out. I like having my Wallet in it. The Side Hanging Pockets on the Utility Kilt, I place my keys, cell phone and change.
