    The Celtic Croft has black kilt hose for $20.00. Look under "Color" under the "Quality Kilt Hose."

    Good luck with the job search, Alan. I hope it does not last long.

    I, too, like my off-white kilt hose. I plan to wear them to work on St. Patrick's Day with my Irish National Kilt.

    The off white or cream hose work seem to well with some outfits, I wore my off white hose last night to match my sweater.

    Alan, another door of opportunity will open, I've been in the same situation a time or two myself.

    Sorry to hear about your job situation Alan. I had a year recently to think about my impending job loss but when it came it was still sort of a shock, especially after 17 years. However, I'm working again in a completely different career. Not making as much but the challenge of something new keeps me on my toes. I'm not really missing the money all that much either for that matter. Best wishes and good hunting in your upcoming job search.

    As for the hose, wear whatever you like!

    ALan,

    Very sorry to hear about your upcoming career change. I refuse to refer to it as a loss, as you might just find yourself some place better. Good luck with the search. I went through it last year and it is not a fun time. If I can help in any way, feel free to contact me.

    As for the hose, I think that the off-white/cream hose look fine if coordinated with the kilt and shirt. I do think that white are only for pipers, though.

    Hi,

    IMHO, white should only be worn by pipers otherwise the look is too harsh; off white is acceptable though not my favorite. Black can be very formal looking though I do wear black socks with my MacQuarrie and Black Watch kilts, for casual wear.

    Also, must agree with the earlier posters that Hamilton Dry Goods, oat meal socks look great with just about everything and are very reasonably priced with fast shipping.

    Good luck with the job situation.

    Bob

    Bummer about the work situation Alan, I know that you shall find success in the future endeavors.

    I too prefer off-white/cream and oatmeal over pure white.
