So, as I continue my quest to build my "uber-formal" kit, I think that it's time to consider hose.

I already have a pair of really nice hand sewn aran hose, but I've read that they are not actually suitable for evening formal wear. So, to avoid getting arrested by the kilt police, maybe I should just drop some cash into some tartan hose.

Here's my question, I've only seen a couple of places to get tartan hose, and at $200, I'd like to shop around just a bit, to see if there are more options out there. Also, do they have to be tartan hose? Is there any other options for evening formal hose? Can I still wear ghillies, or am I supposed to switch to some normal boring dress shoes?

Thanks in advance for all your help.
