Diced Hose

[Chas]

Maybe, I misunderstood, but my socks and hose only go on one way.

Surely the only choice is to buy one type or the other?

Royal Regt of Scotland dress regulations explains both hose tops and diced hose. Includes photos. A useful reference document.

Great link! Thanks, I found another link similar before but did not have the colorful pics to go with it

I just put mine on so my heels fit where they should how the dicing looks is a secondary consideration. I understand wanting to get it right however, I get the impression you may be over thinking the entire thing.

With hose, of course, there's only one option. But with hose tops (which have no feet to them), there may or may not be a seam that dictates the orientation. I'm assuming the OP's question is for these.

The pair of military hose tops I have (red/black dicing) do have a seam in the back, which places a red diamond squarely in front.

Of course, hose tops. I hadn't thought of those. That would make sense.

Thanks gang! I'll order some blue and white and blue and green and check how the seem is. I'll post pics once I have accessories

As to the question about colours, for me it was a "no brainer",
the red/black diced is sufficiently reminiscent of the MacGregor
Rob Roy tartan, to make it the obvious choice with a MacGregor
kilt in a dress situation.

But definitely, it's a question of what you like and what you think
looks good with your kilt.

Stoneyburnpiper If you are looking for a bespoke pair I would suggest going through the Scottish Tartan Museum I have a pair from them and they are wonderful. Here is the link.

Here is a photo of mine:

I do have another pair that are from the House of Cheviot in Red and White though the colour is more orange and I really prefer these.

Those do look sharp McMurdo! Thanks for the heads up
