When are colored hose appropriate?

[M. A. C. Newsome]

How about instead of your wife knitting you pure white hose, you have her knit themin some other light color, such as cream, or a light tan or oatmeal? These would retain all of the advantages that she just mentioned, plus they wouldn't show dirt as readily. (And you won't have to deal with everyone's opinions about white hose).

I think the best dressed Scot I've ever met is Gordon Walker (yes, his mother actually does dress him!) He typically wears colored hose at all the top world piping events, so I've gone with the practice of wearing colored hose for important events where knowledgeable (Highland attire knowledgeable) folks are in attendance.

I pipe a lot of gigs, so I have lots of pairs of hose. I save the off-white for what I call the "tourist" events, but I like their look too. Variety never hurts.

Now, here's the real question: when you tie your ghillie brogues, who ties the bow in the front and who ties it on the outside?

I'd take any good hand knitted hose no matter what color and wear them with pride . That takes alot of work.

Oh' yea', you got that right!!!

Thanks Matt. Actually, the wife's comments were a bit tongue in cheek. They do provide a view though that perhaps most of us would not have otherwise thought of.
