I need socks!!

Looks like you have plenty of advice on places to buy.

As to color, I'd stay away from white, but that's a personal matter. I only wear white with black tie (PC) or formal, and some people don't even like white in those situations. (Problem is, I ordered a custom knitted pair in white years ago, so I wear 'em when I deem them appropriate.)

If I were starting over like you, I'd go for either Lovat Green or black or novy blue. Since you're wearing khaki shirts, I assume this is not a formal affair. (You can see my picture with the color combination:


This is kind of the combination that the Highland Regiments wear, or at least used to wear. Who knows what they're up to since amalgamation.

I like the green with the khaki, the only problem is the kilt has a large amount of green in it, and if it didnt match, I'm afraid it would look off. Same goes for blue.

I myself will be in a PC, though I'm the only one. Maybe I should go with white and have them with cream?

You could all go with the off white, that is what we did for my twin brothers wedding, it looked fine, IMHO, however you in white and everyone else in cream would work also.

Hey Yaish,

Boy, no advice on the cheap hose...but before I saw that part my mind immediately went to the Lewis hose that Matt sells. They have that nice thick turn down that looks so good. Would be perfect for a wedding save the price.

Lots of colors to work with, but even if you had the money guessing you'd have to order early so he could bring them in from Scotland in time because of your quantity. But spending a few hundred on kilt hose for one time use of a bunch of guys does seem a bit much.

It would look VERY sharp however.

Just got off the phone with Ron Hamilton and I got a pair of the Linsey Woolsey & 2 Pair of his Merino Wool Socks ( They are new and not listed) and I will let you know what they are like. He also said that if you order in bulk you can get a better deal and combine postage.

Don't forget about Robin. He has a variety of colours at great prices. I ordered four pair that should be here any day.
