Diced hose for daywear?

[macwilkin]

Thanks to both of you gentlemen for the prompt replies!



Quesition of clarification: Is the objection to diced hose in general for dayware, or to the particular black/red color combination? Too "loud" perhaps? Similarly, are you suggesting solid hose in those other colors, or in combination as diced hose?



If I were to go the red/white route it would definitely be for evening wear, but to my eye it seems a bit over-the-top for a simple Prince Charlie; I think the red/white combo looks better with a doublet of some sort.

I even think the red/black "pops" a little too much for my taste, hence my preference for tartan hose for black-tie.

I don't have a photo handy of Mark in his formal rig, but trust me, you want them to "pop". Whilst I like tartan hose, at times they can blend in a bit too much with the kilt for me.
