Hose and Flashes matching or not

**flyrod6057** · 17th November 11, 02:00 AM

Not to hijack the thread, but I took a quick look at the site for shooting socks...

...My wife is going to choke me! Too many awesome socks and garters!

You've put me in the doghouse for sure!

Now, back to your regularly scheduled thread:

Chris.

Incidentally, those "Rannoch" shooting socks are made by House of Cheviot, and are the same exact Rannoch line that are sold as kilt hose. Matt sells them at the STM Gift Shop, for example. The only real difference is that if you buy them as shooting socks, you can opt to get the matching garter tie, where buying them as kilt hose, you would be assumed to provide your own garters separately.

At any rate, a lot of the shooting socks are House of Cheviot, and for those in the US it might be worth checking with Matt first before ordering them elsewhere.

House of Cheviot, Rannoch hose.

The first three in the top row. Last three in bottom.

I mostly agree with Sandy; though I would probably think twice before wearing the royal blue garters simply because I don't feel like there's enough colour contrast between them and the hose (i.e., the two colours are both too "deep" to be combined without competing with one another).

**Macman** · 17th November 11, 11:02 AM

I think they all go, but my favourite is the yellow, followed by the orange. The yellow just zings, to my eyes!

Hmmmm...I prefer the ones on the top and which one would depend on the tartan worn.

Whilst I can see all of the House of Cheviot range, I don't keep them in stock, but they are all readily available, just ask me via this forum or my website, tell me what your interested in, and I will try and beat any online price and include worldwide delivery charges in the price, it's all part of the service I offer.

All you need do ask
