I imagine there will be times he'll scrunch his socks down, but it throws off the look of his legs to me. He's lost a lot of weight over the years, and he's got very nice legs. The look of the kilt and the hose pulled up accentuates his nice, muscular legs perfectly If they were scrunched down, it would add too much bulk around his ankles.

Like I said, I'm sure there will be times he'll scrunch the hose down but if he asks my advice on it I'll usually vote for hose up. We definitely need to get him some better hose. He still only has the off-white, thin hose we first got him. I definitely want to invest in some really nice hose custom made for his muscular legs when we can. I want him to have a little more options as far as colors go (although, I'll admit, I don't mind off-white hose, especially if we can get a really nice off-white sweater to go with it. Love that look!), not to mention not have them look that thin.
