I have a pair of lovat green piper hose which I wear a lot. I think they look fine even if you're not a piper...
I wouldn't wear white piper hose, however.

In my opinion unless the hose are white they are not really piper's hose. Feel free to wear them in any colour you like...except white.

I'm okay about non-pipers wearing piper hose. But, the military horsehair sporran looks comical on non-pipers. Sorry, no offense intended.

Would you say that to our own Matt Newsome?

I know, but that doesn't make it right.

Hey Kilted in Maine
I get my "piper"/"pipe" hose from IrishKilts.net and have them in all the different greens and blues. They tend to be larger on top so they easily fit my rather large calfs (sp) (22"). I'm not a piper either as I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, but really like the hose from them. They hold up well to wear and I keep them up with the large sized garter ties from Tartan Museum. They are very similar to the ones shown already on this thread.
