As always, I appreciate your input. The two in question are both originally from Scotland and run the Scottish Imports shop here. One fellow is the president of the Scottish Society, who actually fitted me for my new kilt and has dressed thousands of men in kilts over the years. They know I have no Scottish blood in me, so perhaps they want to make sure I don't embarass myself. I try to be as authentic as possible when kilted, and after having read many threads on the subject, I thought I was a-okay. Well, bottom line is, I liked the way it looked so I will most likely continue wearing the colored hose when the mood strikes me.

Regards,
RB
