Another kilt hose question with garter ties and bonnet question

[xman]

Should the dicing pick up the color of the hose?

That's not necessary.

If I choose the khaki or lovats would red garter ties be just right?

I do it all the time.

And should the dicing pick up the hose or tie color?

Again, not necessary. Some time there is a nice coordination possible between the garters and the neck tie, but that's just a nice benefit. You can also (in my mind at lest) get a nice effect from having the garter ties match a bright overcheck on your tartan. Just don't clash is all.

I'm more concerned about you wallerin' around under somebody's house or in a briar patch and either ruining a kilt in the Georgia clay or snagging it on something.
As to color, it's possible to have a bonnet made to really closely match the color of your hose, with a stripe in it the same color as your garter ties. Send Ryan Ross a PM about it and see what he comes up with.
