Yet another hose question

Is that what's called Lovat (sp?) Green?

Lovat green is a lighter, kind of "weathered" green. Bottle green is a darker, "richer" green. So you can use that info to make a decision dependent of the type of green in the tartan. Computer generated images almost never mirror colors accurately.

So, Lovat is just a shade of a certain color? Like Lovat Blue for example.

James, if you mean the Lewis hose: they are simply luxurious. I have 3 pairs, and my feet love them.

These are a little thicker than the average kilt hose (avoid tight shoes); but they look and feel great.

Black hose & shirt would, in my opinion, look good worn with red flashes. You must try other combinations, as everyones tastes are different.

You've gotten some good choices here and Matt having the fabric in his very own clutches is in a good position to advise.


BUT

David beat me to what is fast becoming a favorite of mine -- black hose, black shirt and red flashes (or matching tartan) would be what I'd wear with that one.
