Seriously there are better choices than white hose and Sailortats has named two of them, either of which would be fine on the night.

I know, I know. Just trying to be inclusive

Sailortats, the traditional view is that white hose are only to be worn by those whose uniform requires it. They tend to be pushed by kilt rental companies and many retailers too, but there are so many better options.

With the exception of my avatar (which was taken about four years ago), I avoid white hose for solo piping gigs, unless I'm "jamming" with a pipe band that's wearing them. Thankfully, more and more bands are abandoning them.
