Socks for formal

[CMcG]

Tartan hose are definitely not, I repeat, NOT in the budget...please...this is tough enough and I'd like to stay married for at least a little bit longer...

My lass picked my up a pair of nice argyle hose on eBay as an Xmas present. She paid about $25 including shipping.

Maybe something like these might work for you? Keep in mind that eBay sellers are often willing to ship overseas if you just send them a message....

Yeah...and as an aside, against all logic and good sense, I'm starting to look at a black ruche tie for these things...somebody slap me and talk some sense into me!

Try a black cravat, like the one Matt sometimes wears.

Red hose would probably tie in nicely with the red stripe in your Robertson.

Unfortunately, not available in this line of hose.

I don't know what your budget is, but the Lewis hose are available in 4 shades of red (ancient, tartan, brick, claret). All would work: the tartan is a little on the orange (ancient) side of red. I am fond of the brick red, and claret is on my wish list.

I like their bottle green, too: it's a shade brighter than most others I've seen.
