It is, after all, a wool, eight yard kilt, And workable...
Up until a month or so ago, I would have agreed with you on the green flashes, and red would never have cossed my mind- and then I saw Riverkilt in his Antarctica tartan kilt, wearing it with red hose. The kilt was all cool colors- whites and blues and greys- and then there were the hot red socks. It worked so well together, and was something I never would have thought of. So I thought that you could achieve a similar effect with the red flashes- that one splash of extra color! Of course, like I said, green would look excellent too- it's just a slightly different way of thinking about things. Until I saw Ron in that picture, I was all about matching flases to kilt.
