    ive got cream hose ,they actually belonged to my other halfs grandfather who has since passed away, i plan to wear them with my kilt regardless of other folks opinion mainly due to the respect i have for the old irishman,they are about 50 years or more old and where handmade as far as im aware ,

    i reckon most folk i know who wear kilts at certain functions well in this part of scotland tend to wear white most of these folk have hired a kilt package at some point and when buying there own ended up buying white not knowing there is no law stating you must wear white

    as much as i would love other colours im wearing mine for that personal reason but i do intend on getting other colours to match the kilt when i get it ,if come into some money i think i`ll be buying a pair of tartan ones as soon as i can though reading through some of the threads on the site regarding tartan hose made me relise just how great looking they are

    I would think a personal connection like that would certainly trump other considerations. Wear them with pride.

    well

    I think it depends on the tartan and/or kilt. ANd it also depends on the shirt/tie. Some people wear no hose at all!
