Oh, you know Colin - a choice of finest Darjeeling or Earl Grey, with a selection of one-bite sandwiches and a slice of Dundee cake. The usual sort of thing.

I too find that kilt hose add a better weight and look. Having said that i have recently purchased wool work socks that look great when worn with a kilt and boots.
I forgot to include Walking socks as being a good alternative to kilt hose. They're just as thick but can only be turned down once, so not as much 'bulk' or weight at the ankles, and a poor choice of colours.
