Ancient Red Lewis Kilt Hose Help

[Riverkilt]

Okay, they're here. And they do "look" orange when they're alone. When next to the orange in the Antarctica tartan they look a bit red orange. I'm guessing the usual fading when hand washed will make them a bit more orange and a little less red. They should work with the Antarctica tartan though. Now, have only the tartan necktie to compare them to.

The orange traditional garter tie looks very sharp with the navy blue Lewis kilt hose.

So there's two options plus grey kilt hose, maybe black...

I dyed the orange to match the Antarctic tartan for my son's tartan hose. It is quite easy. If you get a pair of natural wool hose and the ProWash Acid Dye Sampler from Prochemical.com (the bright orange in there is the right one)

Or just order the bright orange (about half the price and enough dye for 10 pr of hose!) and use vinegar as the acid.

Here's an older pic that shows off the orange pretty well (I did marl the orange with yellow as I didn't want to leave the yellow out of the hose.)
