Hard to find hose?

[Nighthawk]

you might want to do a search for RAF blue or even lovat blue. I think either would work splendidly.

My thoughts exactly! On the lovat blue, anyway...

[fluter]

I think any grey or tan should work well; I would not worry about an exact match. Lovat green, olive/khaki, loden green also.

I can see it with the discontinued brown Lewis hose on sale at the STM, if a medium would fit you.

My "gut reaction" would be to go with dark brown hose rather than tan or light blue. I think sometimes that having hose that match the ground colour doesn't work as well as hose that co-ordinate by perhaps matching one of the overstripe colours.
