Advice needed - green, orange, gray, black, or suggestions??

Black always looks as goes grey. Lovat green could look good too. Of the 3 you show, I would go with grey.
What shirt are planning to wear with it?

Really tough call. I have seen the older gents wearing brownish argyll jackets, brown belts, brown brogues, etc. I was wearing a black polo with orange hose on it just as a test. Seemed to clash a bit but not without being outlandish. I like gray, black and brown with this for the most. Still open to any suggestions.

I really like this belt from USA Kilts, too. http://www.usakilts.com/catalog/prod...01/image/1267/

Unclevenus:

Given that the tartan in your Pollock kilt is virtually identical to the tartan in my Maxwell hunting, perhaps a couple of photos will help.

I often wear a lovat green jacket and/or waistcoat with my Maxwell hunting, and prefer to wear the House of Cheviot ancient green Lewis hose rather than bottle green hose, which tend to look a bit blue-ish against the green of the tartan. Here I am pictured with the ever dapper Tobus on a windy day wearing the above with a brown sporran and brogues:



When I wear a short-sleeved shirt, I tend to favor a Cabela's tan safari shirt with this particular tartan, as it's not too light a shade, and not too dark:



I like the belt, but think a darker brown might work better with the tartan (I prefer chocolate brown). Of course black always works. I wear chocolate brown or black depending upon my choice of sporrans.

I'm not really a fan of red hose, and while they or the black or gray would work, I'd go with something green with red flashes. But then, that's only my opinion... I could be wrong.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

SM

I think the orange hose look pretty good.

Have you thought about something completely different that contrasts rather than matches?

How about a muted blue or a Navy blue?

The grey is my choice above and a muted blue is not a giant leap from grey.



Nice tartan, btw.

I like the look of brown hose with red or green based tartans (think autumnal). If you look at the photo of Shawn and Tobus, perhaps you could imagine Tobus' hose worn with Shawn's kilt? I think it is a great way to slightly cool down the heat of the red/orange. If you are wedded to a hose in a color that is in the kilt, I would go with a softer green, lovat or sage, instead of tartan green.


Best of luck!

I would agree with this advice and also with Matt who suggests the orange hose look a little "over the top". With your great looking tartan, subdued coloured hose and shirt would be my choice.
