You're going to be very pleased with Jerry's offering methinks. I was so happy with his Stewart that I bought the Black Watch a week later ...

As to the hose, I were lovat green, black, and oatmeal. The green adds the colour, the black blends beautifully, I'm still thinking about the oatmeal. I think red hose would go nicely as would bottle blue.

Like you, I do not have but black accessories; sporran, sporran strap and boots. Soon I'll get with Donnie at Wyvern for a two-tone sporran and that should do quite nicely for day and evening use.

The Stewart has six colours and is a very nice weave; you'll be hard-pressed to use hose in a "bad" colour-match.
