I'm shockingly short (pun intended) on kilt hose and with my new kilt arriving in about 6 weeks, I was thinking of stocking up. I have the cream colored nylon hose that came with my acrylic kilt. I hate them. I have a very nice modern tartan green pair of cable knit wool hose from Sock Dreams. I love those but they're very dark. And I have borrowed my wife's brick red / dark gray marled boot socks from Torrid to use as kilt hose and that worked much better than I'd expected but I don't want to repeat that experience. I've found a few from House of Cheviot on Amazon that are in my price range but the array of colors that they offer is staggering. The kilt that's on its way is an ancient variant, green base. It has wide blue stripes and thin red stripes. So the obvious choice would be ancient green or ancient blue hose with red or orange garter ties (or flashes). armstrong-ancient.jpg But what about less obvious? I'd like to have more variety available, depending on the occasion. Bison? Claret? Navy? Charcoal? Oatmeal? I have red, green, and blue flashes as well as orange garter ties. Black flashes maybe? Black hose? Gah! Too many options! (BTW, I make my own flashes and garter ties so I can easily make any color I can find in the remnant bin at the fabric store (flashes) or any wide weave ribbon I can find (garter ties)).
