[Kilted cabin boy]

What is the best color hose for a Blackwatch kilt? I already have charcoal.Thank you in advance for your help.

[TheOfficialBren]

Charcoal, lovat blue, lovat green, navy, royal blue, oatmeal, tan, brown, claret, argyles of contrasting shades...

Prettybmuch anything rich or earthy in hue.

My tuppence.

I'll echo some of TOB's recommendations-

lovat blue, lovat green, tan, or claret would be my first choices.

I have a Black Watch kilt and like black, lovat blue, charcoal, claret, or navy. Depending on what you're wearing on top, maybe an oatmeal/tan. I'm not a fan of lovat green, just me. Would love some diced hose or some of the fancy hose with patterned tops, but don't have budget for those...yet!

[Father Bill]

I'd choose the claret first.

[AKScott]

Pink, mustard, and all of the above.

See this thread., esp for commentary by Steve, but lots of good input about choosing hose colors. And this other one pictars of black watch with mnay different colors of hose. I wonder if we shouldnt' just put together a new thread 'pics of differnent hsoe with BW'?

It is a base for several tartans and many tartans use a similar colour scheme.

My go-to with the Black Watch is khaki military hose from What Price Glory. Otherwise, I grab my oatmeal. I think the BW looks best when accented with lighter colored hose.

[Richrail]

I think Oatmeal, Lovat Green, Claret or Lovat Blue.

I would probably try to match or blend it with whatever color(s) I wore above it, so that the kilt stands alone as the centerpiece of my outfit.
