Who knows hose?

[Colin]

The lovat hose seem to work really well with the ancient tartans. The modern tartans will work from time to time depending on the tartan, but the faded look of the ancient really gets complimented by the lovat hose (green or blue depending on tartan). I don't think there is a set list of what tartans will work with the hose, but rather just a trial and error approach. I would take Black Watch off the list though, the lovat hose don't look so great (that I have tried or seen) with the darkness of the Black Watch tartan.

Anderson and Nova Scotia, I'd say.

So many of us have asked or read about which hose match what...

I have come up with a solution....

Perhaps there is a need for 'garanimals' like tags for kilts and accessories...

If the animals on the tags match - the colors go together!!

The correct answer is D) None of the above. You'll end up looking too dark in the nether regions ("Bottom-heavy"), especially when you lace on a pair of black shoes.
Oatmeal is my choice with Black Watch. Gray or stone is a close second, but avoid all the really dark colors.

I don't drink any more so I don't have that as an excuse. So what I do now is unscrew the light bulb in the closet and take out whatever I touch first. No light ,no worries.
Or if your really concerned about what other people think why are you wearing a kilt?

I wear lovat blue hose and matching tweed Argyle jacket with my modern Hume kilt. The blues tone really well.

I thought the "nether regions" was what was under our kilt that was supposed to remain a mystery?!?!?!

Well, I will disagree with TH and answer Yes to all 3, and I have worn all 3 (at separate times!) with my B/W kilt.

I have worn black hose, with black shoes, navy or B/W flashes, white dress shirt, black wool tie, and blackj Argyll jacket for funerals (2).

I have worn the B/W with a navy pullover shirt, navy hose (pushed down), with black shoes or boots.

And I have worn the B/W with a black shirt, brown sporran, brown belt, and brown shoes, with bottle green hose, with the hose either pushed down, or up with B/W flashes.

All three looked fine to me.
