Argyle Hose for daywear...

[Bugbear]

Are we talking about the day use wearing of diced/argyll hose in a military situation (re-enactment) or civilian use. In the military scenerio they have worn diced hose during the day for a number of centuries and I would imagine that one could find a number of paintings showing their use in a military situation. As for everyday civilian use, I would hazard a guess that one would be hard pressed to find too many examples as such. To use pictures of their use by military persons and then to extrapolate that into everday civilian use, is a bridge too far for this poster.

I do however like the look of diced/ argyll hose being worn during the day, but don't think we can link it to a traditional everyday context.

Back there, I posted a link to my thread with a primary source describing civilians wearing tartan hose from 1773. Not saying it is a tradition, just that it was done. I have not been focused on tartan hose, or tartan hose of a different tartan than the kilt, so off the top of my head I don't know where to point for an example.

I know there are folks on the forum who know much, much more than I.
