Yet another hose question

[ardchoille]

I'd wear white hose with green flashes (dress) or green hose with red flashes (casual). I don't think there's enough blue in that tartan to have blue flashes accent it and I think red hose would be "too much red".

That tartan is very similar to the MacGregor tartan (my avatar).

Right not enough blue. Go for the white hose & just what Ardchoille said and you'll be cool

I'm going to differ with the others on the blue. A pair of Lovat Blue hose with a similar blue shirt may just work with that. I'm personally not a fan of lite blue but if it's your taste give it a try.

Also, the green is much darker than Lovat Green. You'd probably want bottle green but that might not be brite enough if what my monitor shows is accurate.

And one last thought, don't feel you have to wear flashes all the time. Leaving them off can make the outfit look more casual when the setting permits.

I agree with the Lovat blue hose. My brother wore Lovat Blue hose with his modern Grant kilt(the tartans have a lot of the same colours) and it looked really good.

its all hard to say until you have the kilt in your hand and are looking at it. The colors on a web graphic are only going to give you vague idea of what that tartan is actually going to look like. Judging by what mine looks like, I would have to agree with Mr. Newsome, bottle green and Lovat Blue would match my Drummond of Perth. However, I think diffrent ones would match my brothers. Heres the two....


and when holding these in your hand and actually seeing them, the color is much more dark and vivid and the difference is even more striking. So keep that in mind
