I like the idea of green and black or green and blue diced hose with yellow flashes.
Either of these would be ideal to me. They would complement the tartan kilt/vest combo without overdoing it.

I'd say they work just fine. The size looks OK, though they may feel a bit small. Part of what makes it work for me is that awesome sporran... a more standard metal cantle/short fur wouldn't look as good.

That being said, the diced green/black or green/blue would look even better because they would complement rather than contrast with the tartan.
