Thoughts on hose color etc.

[davidlpope]

I think that most folks would do best to own five pairs of hose:

Lovat blue
Lovat green
Bottle green
Claret/ dark red

Argyle or diced hose for formal wear


I have several pairs of flashes/garters in assorted colors, but I tend to wear red most of the time.

Cordially,

David

Good point. The hose I do have that I wear the most are on the list. The hose I don't wear often, aren't.

Likewise with flashes, I have read over and over that if i have one pair bright red and one pair bright blue, I have all the flashes I need.

Thansk David.

What are your thoughts about hose color?

Youre plannin an afternoon in town. Youre wearing a Black Watch kilt. What color hose would you be wear?

What tabs/flashes will you be wearing?

If I had a Black Watch kilt, especially if it were in Ancient or Muted colours, I would be very much tempted to follow the example of this man



and get a pair of scarlet and yellow tartan hose!

I also very much like the look of red & black and red & white diced hose with Black Watch kilts.

For plain hose, I would like the Shooting Socks that are Claret with a mustard & claret diced top, or red hose.

Doh, so close! It's more of a brick red, but there you go.

You can wear any colour with a kilt of Black Watch tartan, although I would never recommend white or black. How about red or claret? Pink, green, blue? Purple or yellow?

Quite right, Sandy. Any colour will do, with the exception of black, ecru, or white. I think tartan red, brick red, or claret would look especially smart with the dark green of the 42nd tartan.

If you would like to see a number of options with Black Watch one after the other take a look at this thread.

You're late to the party, Jamie. Glen already posted that link at the bottom of page 1!

Same here. I purchased flashes and garter ties in many different colours from House of Cheviot and Lochcarron, however, I almost always grab the colour red.

I currently own every colour in the House of Cheviot Chessboard hose, thanks to Chris at Dunadd, and love them dearly! The dusty pink/purple colour goes quite nicely with my Macpherson hunting tartan, as do the other colours with other Macpherson tartans!

Ive always wondered why white hose was sort of a no no in the kilt world. Would someone be so kind to clear that up for me?
