Hi, artificer, thanks for reply.
I already bought black and white are actually creamy white with lion on the top. Then... I have red and black flashes. But I can't decide what is best choice.

Actually there is one more thing... I am going to wear only simple jacket, without vest.

I was wondering what else would the outfit be comprised of, are you wearing a jacket with this? I was also thinking it may be easier for all concerned if you posted photos with both sets of hose. If it were me given the choices I would wear the black hose, though if possible I would wear blue or perhaps purple if you want the hose to match the tartan, if however you do not want to match then most any colour would work, in that case I would suggest claret.

Ok, I will post photos tomorrow after work. If you have any ideas what pictures to take, please comment. Thx.

If it were me, I would buy a blue to match the tartan, otherwise go with black with the red flashes.

Thx for reply. Now, I have a choice, we have rest of gray/black tartan at home, and my girlfriend can sew me flashes and bow tie from that tartan. I will post photos also tomorrow, when it will be done.

Actually, if it's a black tie do, a standard black tie to match the lapels on your jacket is a better bet. Self tie is better than pre-tied.

Always.

I tried to post image now, but I can't. So I will leave it for tomorrow. Bow tie will be pre-tied.

Personally (and this purely personal prejudice) I never, ever wear white hose because I think they look tacky. I say go with the black.
