Diced hose for daywear?

[OC Richard]

Were I to wear that military MacKenzie Seaforth kilt, yes I would wear red & white diced hose in the evening and Lovat Green self-coloured hose in the day, in keeping with the military. (It's a purely military tartan, like Gordon and Erracht Cameron, and my "eye" can't forget that fact.)

Now you might get somebody to knit you a pair of these deerhead motif hose...

Yeah, I suppose this really doesn't work for daywear (the tartan is close enough to make a fair comparison):



(Not to pick on any particular X Marker, but helpful to me to be able to observe the kilt/hose combination in vivo.)

Speaking of the Seaforths, here are some nice vintage illustrations showing both red-and-white diced and tartan hose:







and also the Highland Light Infantry:

I really like the look of the hose in this pic. Looks very sharp, to my eye... blends quite well.

As a straight guy I can't help but say what a strikingly handsome dude that is! BTW Tim Little, it's not about matching.
