    There is a huge difference between $20 kilt hose and $200 kilt hose. With a formal outfit, especially a Montrose Doublet, I would spring for some diced or Argyll hose to complete the look. Is it a lot of money? Well , no, not in the long run. A finely made pair of hose will last you a lifetime and fit you better to boot.

    Plus you can get them here for under $200:

    I have heard of diced hose from J. Higgins for $65, but the reviews here have been less than flattering and make me skeptical of purchasing a pair even at that price.

    I think the plain color hose will work fine, however, diced or Argyll hose are far more traditional for formal wear. If you have a formal event coming up soon, I would go with what you have that looks best with your kilt. Then save for some formal hose down the line.
