Kilt hose for Charcoal Grey jacket?

**MacLowlife** · 3rd December 09, 06:44 PM

JSF, I believe you are right about made for a woman, but I think most hose can be cuffed easily enough. Much depends on the length of one's shanks, I expect, and the length of one's foot. Unstretched, the wool OTC argyles from this second seller (in a size medium) are 17 inches, heel to top. The last two inches are solid- there is no argyle cuff. I would be willing to sell out my sock integrity for the $75 or so in savings, assuming the color worked. I am curious as to your opinion of the off white with red raker stitch I mention above.
Thanks MacLL

I can't say that I like them. They just don't look like kilt socks to me. They are too fine, not wooly enough...and they are pretty darned white.

NOPE, I still don't know how to post from Picasa. Sorry, all for stumbling again...

With the greatest respect to all, I really cannot believe that anyone really takes all this time about the colour of a pair of socks! If you like the colour, then damn well wear them! Alright, I quite accept that kilt hose can be expensive and not every one wants,needs, or can afford a drawer full. I also fully accept that we all have personal preferences, but really, far too much is made of all this matching up, colour coding nonsense.

I agree. A while back, I realized that I was stating my preferences and way of picking colors in a way that could seem as if I were telling people they should do the same.

I think you know, Jock, what colors someone else is wearing has no effect on me what so ever.

That's the difference Jock, you and I, we like the lived in look, others prefer the colour co-ordinated pretence as specified elsewhere in this forum, to you and I, it's what we wear, to others it's a custome, plain and simple, each to his own, life and let live, at least we can have a laugh at their expense.

By the way, did I tell you I am now stocking and selling house of cheviot hose at less than rrp ? pm me for details

Some of us could just be better at procrastinating than others? I know I am!

Seems we beat our heads on the wall on this one, Jock!

Sounds like Scotland is the place for color-blinders like me!
