    Youre plannin an afternoon in town. Youre wearing a Black Watch kilt. What color hose would you be wear?

    What tabs/flashes will you be wearing?
    You can wear any colour with a kilt of Black Watch tartan, although I would never recommend white or black. How about red or claret? Pink, green, blue? Purple or yellow?

    Let me ask you: what colour of hose do you want to wear with your Black Watch tartan kilt?

    I'd agree with this... and then add the Q "what ya got...?"

    Personally I'm not fond of bright colours... With Black Watch I wouldn't want to go with something too dark though...

    Off white (despite everyones opinions on it) may be unadventurous, but do tend to go with everything, and if you get bored and they have a high natural fiber content you can always dye them later on...

    I guess if I was buying I'd look at your other kilts too... Lovat green goes well with maclean hunting, and I suspect equally well with BW

    EXACTLY... perfectly well said, and spot on.

    What do YOU want to wear? So.....go wear it. It's that simple.

    Quite right, Sandy. Any colour will do, with the exception of black, ecru, or white. I think tartan red, brick red, or claret would look especially smart with the dark green of the 42nd tartan.

    Cheers,
