Even in the Hebrides

So really with your coloured hose you are, perhaps, more THCD than you thought you were! Interestingly, in my youth there were no white hose, no argyll hose and no diced hose worn with the black tie in this area of the highlands, just plain lovat green or lovat blue knitted with finer wool than day-wear hose. I am not sure if the shortages after WW2 may have had an influence there, but I think not. The "fancy coloured hose with patterns" only put in an appearance for white tie events.
