    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
