Hose up....hose down

[Robin]

I'm happy I posted something semi interesting

The hose down "issue" was new to me, after all....it's my 1st kilted summer.

I don't like "normal" socks...up, down or whatever, they just don't look good with a kilt.


Oatmeal kilthose, triple folded and pushed down....works fine.


I also found some very usable long "country socks" grey/green blend with green tops. Folded and pushed down.


Also handy...hiking socks. These are blue/grey blend...perfect with the XMarks kilt....folded twice.

The advantage of the country/hiking socks...they're long enough to fold them, so they give some optical "body" and they're cheaper as kilt hose.

I also found some (new) Dutch army socks in an army surplus shop...they're oatmeal and perfect for "hose down".

Oh...I know...I still need some black boots to wear with black leather

With these ankle height brogues I think wearing hose up looks best (Edinburgh)

boots - hose up or down.
low shoes - hose up
sandals - I don't wear them.

for really tall boots, I always wear them down.

...exactly reading my thoughts! :rolleyes:

¡Salud!
