Need help picking hose colors.
I think I can justify three pairs of hose with maybe two pairs of traditional garters and one pair of flashes. I don't want to show up in the same pair of hose everytime I wear my kilt.
I'd druther order it all at once to save on shipping.
Kilt will be Scott modern green. I am partial to the Strome mill, but it shouldn't make a huge difference. http://www.usakilts.com/store/tartan...show&gazgal=23
My daywear sgian will have a light colored wooden handle, likely quilted maple.

I have yet to read anything negative about Matt's "Lewis" line of kilt hose, I am leaning to Lovat Green and claret for the first two color choices, trying to pick among tartan red, yellow, and dark natural for the third pair.

For traditional ties I am thinking yellow and gray; looking at orange or light blue flashes; but I am kinda wondering if the purple garter tie might work with yellow hose. It would require a shirt and tie combination I can't name.

Plain leather sporran, big smile; mostly thick heavy sweaters in natural tones, oatmeal or heather or salt grass. Levels 2-6 on the "ten ways" scale.
Thanks,
Scott
