Solid hose w/ Argyll Cuff-Forum opinion needed!

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

I like the orange, myself. I must say that these remind me of tartan topped shooting socks and I picture these being worn with a tweed jacket and muskrat sporran rather than with a dinner jacket and black tie... I should think full tartan or diced hose would be the better choice for formal wear. Just my pennyworth!

You are, of course, correct. But sometimes a gentleman's sense of "style" moves him just a smidgen away from the rest of the herd. Now whether this stylistic statement is driven by personal eccentricity or financial considerations matters not. What counts is that it looks good (and it is certainly different), and it is
VASTLY SUPERIOR
to the ubiquitous white socks.

Josh, if you can get to a practice session of the Atlanta Pipe Band, that is the tartan they wear. Might find another outlet for additional sales as well.

I'd also vote for the orange. However, I have to ask... if you are making these for someone else, why not ask him which he would prefer?

I prefer the orange hose, with the green coming in a close second!

[Highlander31]

I would say the orange, however, I think the green was a close second.

I think either color hose would look great. It would depend on what I was planning on wearing above the waist, which color I would choose.

Is this a new style of hose you will be offering? I wouldn't feel bad wearing them with my logger boots, like I would wearing my full tartan hose. By the way, I like the cabled ribs on the orange ones.

Actually, there is historical precedent for it. In John Scurr and Mike Chappel's history of the Malayan Emergency, there is an artist's depiction of an officer of the Cameronian Regiment wearing solid hose with Douglas tartan tops. I've also seen a depiction of a piper of the 10th Princess Mary's Gurkha Rifles wearing tartan hose in Stewart Hunting with diced tops.

I missed this from when I originally looked at this thread last night, to when I posted a minute ago. With this tartan I think those last would really be the right thing to go with, tartan hose with orange and green diced tops. Seriously. With this tartan, go BIG.

Well, I'd want one of each. The orange one for dressing up with black accessories, the green one for going rustic with brown stuff. If you have to pick one, go with orange, I'd say. The color sort of puts me in mind of the color in the MacCreary tartan I have.

Rex.
