Hose/Flashes with tall boots?

[Nighthawk]

So many great opinions and some very solid advise. I'm glad I joined this forum, you all are a wonderful resource.

I am close to settling on a decision... Even though I would love to own a pair of 8 button fantasy boots, I'm going to go with the laced up sandal things that I pictured in an earlier post. I have chosen that vendor based on friends recommendations, lifetime warranty and they are supposedly very comfortable.

I'll go bare under the shoes and I wont worry about having a modern kilt. Just as long as don't forget the sunscreen or my goblet, I'll be on my way to having a fun time.

You need a hanger for that goblet? I make some rather nice mug straps! And could you give me a link to the vendor of those mocs? I'd like a pair, myself.

Apologies all_left off the part on the original question. Gotta stop posting while cooking supper.

If you're gonna have the tall boots, as observed, no need for flashes with the Son of Sandlar boots, as they are probably tight enough to keep hose up. If a looser boot, ties hidden as much as practical. The "Gaelles" are definitely more appropriate for the period flavor. If your character is a gentleman of the clan, more leeway, but the common kind of guy would mostly have made
his own very like the picture. And most likely have been bare-legged, if not
completely barefoot.

Nighthawk, if those pants aren't mainstream, does that mean I can't wear the three pair in my closet any more? And are you saying the kilt IS, or IS NOT mainstream? I dassn't be seen in anything not comfortably in the mainstream,
whatever would become of me? It would likely go on my PERMANENT RECORD.

Yes, if you're a gentleman of the clan, you would be wearing a nice pair of buckle brogues. And you have three of those goofy looking pants that you wear on a regular basis? What the heck is wrong with you? Just kidding. If you're comfy, then hey- why the heck not? I'm saying the kilt is deffinately not mainstream, but the historical style, like the box pleated kilt and the great kilt, even less so. Those are the ones most appropriate for costume type wear. In fact, I got a 5 yard PV box pleated kilt with the intention of using it primarily for costume wear. It's not strictly 1690's, but it maintains the illusion, and is more appropriate to the Colorado desert in the middle of summer than a heavy wool great kilt- or wee kilt, for that matter!
