You could try WB Socks on Ebay

Their kilt hose is not expensive and you could have a myriad of colors for less than you would pay for a good pair of Lewis hose. (but I recommend getting that good pair of Lewis hose... 'cause when you've put on a good pair of hose, it's hard to go back...)
No problem with black, but make sure you match it with something.
