    Re: Thoughts on hose color etc.

    If you take a look at this thread Jamie was wearing a Black Watch kilt for it and wore a few different colours for hose, it might give you some ideas:

    I would say Yellow, Lovat Blue or Lovat Green, or Claret would work well.

    Re: Thoughts on hose color etc.

    I think that most folks would do best to own five pairs of hose:

    Lovat blue
    Lovat green
    Bottle green
    Claret/ dark red

    Argyle or diced hose for formal wear


    I have several pairs of flashes/garters in assorted colors, but I tend to wear red most of the time.

    Cordially,

    David

    Good point. The hose I do have that I wear the most are on the list. The hose I don't wear often, aren't.

    Likewise with flashes, I have read over and over that if i have one pair bright red and one pair bright blue, I have all the flashes I need.

    Thansk David.

    Same here. I purchased flashes and garter ties in many different colours from House of Cheviot and Lochcarron, however, I almost always grab the colour red.
