In the first photo, I'm not sure if I'm a fan of his outfit. The waistcoat is a bit much and the hose are really distracting. When compared to the other photos of the men wearing classy and timeless looks, he looks so dated and kitchy.

This picture is a prime example of us highlanders not worrying too much about all this matching up business.

You do realise that as a Gordon, that is your Chief you're talking about?

He might be my Chief, but he's not my fashion icon!

That's too bad. You have much to learn, young one.

This photo was my inspiration for a pair of yellow hose with my Iowa tartan.

Iowa has an interesting history. Wern't you using green garter ties with the yellow hose reflecting the John Deere tractor colors?

Apologies, Ted, for not responding to your question earlier -- yes, I am still looking at some combination of green and yellow to honour my grandfather, who was a John Deere employee at one time -- not to mention that green & yellow are the colours of Iowa's "tall corn" -- the best in the world!

I'm seriously considering some of the diced-top hose from Almost Unwearoutable in lovat green with yellow dicing -- I am very satisfied with my other pairs of their hose.

Todd

Sounds good, Todd. I did travel through, and get to see Iowa when I was a kid, and remember the corn fields. Hope you are able to come up with the hose colors that you are looking for.
