    but I'd make sure it matched.
    Um, if they're both clean, then they're matching right? Or is there more to this whole fashion thing???


    As for hose, I only have cream at the moment, but I'm waiting on some black and bottle green ones from the Scottish Tartans Museum. I think they'll both look grand with my green-heavy kilt (MacNeil of Barra)

    As with Ted Crocker, my only hose at the moment are the cream-colored pair I bought when I put together my PC outfit for my wedding. I'll wear these w. black flashes when the event is black-tie. With a Mackenzie modern kilt and a black muskrat sporran, the overall look is a bit dark but hopefully somewhat sophisticated.

    Now that I also own a navy Argyll (technically Braemar?) jacket, I really need to get a pair navy hose to go with. (As many have said, matching a dominant color of the tartan and also the color of the aforementioned jacket.) Somewhere along the way I managed to acquire a pair of red flashes (which I currently wear with the cream hose and said Argyll) matching the red stripes in the tartan and keeping the informal look a bit peppier.

    Well... Someday I'll have brown Lewis hose. That would be for a daywear outfit I have been putting together: brown corduroy jacket/waistcoat and Weathered 1/2 Lamont.

    I do have thick gray, knee high socks with a cable pattern and a red band at the top. They're alright for casual in my Nightstalker I guess.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
