Red and green flashes--the port and starboard look!

As for the question that started this thread, I would opt for the green flashes with black hose. With some tartans, black flashes work well with black hose for that black on black look. But in the case of the Cummings Hunting Ancient, I do like the idea of green.

I like both colors, tho the ancient red would probably be more of a color splash than the green.

I wear green with my black hose and think the green would be better in your case as well.

Its more refined than the dogs bollocks which is a common expression here for perfectly splendid. there is even a beer over here called by that name.Ive never been tempted for some reason...cant think why.

Having the cream hose I will go with these for the 'coat, tie and white shirt events'. Everything else I go with the black hose. I go with the green flashes because I like the red in the kilt (Gunn) to draw the attention.

Again, personal choice...

Thanks to everyone for their replies and suggestions! I do appreciate it.

Another option I thought about was reversing the colours and going with dark green hose with black flashes -- a possibility at least!

Cheers,
