Color Hose with Army Tartan

[flairball]

Rich,

I'd thought maybe diced hose, as suggested would really kick the outfit up a couple of notched too, but to the untrained eye (which you will probably encounter at the dinner) they might look uncoordinated. The dinner will be a bit formal right? for that I'd go with black hose, and matching tartan flashes if you've got 'em. The idea of matching your flashes color with your MOS is a good idea too, and would probably be noticed by the observant in attendance.

Will your lovely counter-part be in attendence too? Perhaps she could wear either a CG tartan plaid, or the Army tartan if you two wish to match. Just a suggestion.

Oh yeah! Thanks for the avatar.

I like the idea of branch flashes as well, and as mine would be yellow they actually match (now where to get yellow flashes - though I got matching tartan ones when I got my kilt).

Additionally, I am using a unit crest for a kilt pin (yes it is a little small, but it seemed appropriate).

I have some cheap yellow flashes, but I don't remember where I got them. I have also used gold colored flashes, and they work pretty well.

Since I was Finance Corps, my color would be silvery grey.

Try Matt Newsome -- I believe the museum gift shop sells yellow flashes.
