Argyle Hose for daywear...

[WolfmanJack]

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.

I plead guilty to bringing up th matter of hose in the military. I did so only to support Jamie's observation...

In fact maybe, just maybe there is something to be said for all your kit and kit to not look too matching. This is clothing and not a costume after all.

...by pointing out that, "There is ample historical precedent for kilts and hose of entirely different colors..."

And I would add that, back in the day, many military highlanders continued to wear all or part of their kit after returning to civilian life.
