White Hose

[creagdhubh]

I don't mind the fawn (oatmeal or stone) coloured hose, as my chief wears them occassionally, as do I (mine are from Gaelic Themes), but that is the lightest in hose colour I will go! Sandy (JSFMACLJR) had a wee chat a few months back about this colour of hose, and agreed that we both had seen many men in Scotland, at various gatherings and games, of an "older" generation, wear this particular colour in their kilt hose. If you look at various colour prints and advertisements for Highland dress from the 1940's on, you can easily discern that this was a very popular (neutral, perhaps?) colour choice.
