If the second picture, immediately below the Royal Family, is an example of their wares, Jock, I fear not. More suitable for a Pearly King or the music hall, I would say!

I use stats heavily in my own work, and I sometimes teach what I call "kitchen statistics" - just how to use the formulas like recipes, not the theory that makes them work. One thing I always tell my students "Figures don't lie, but liars figure!"

The two local shops, that I have come across here in Matlock, Derbyshire, who hire out kilts, source their hire kilts from Scotland, but not from Young's. And, yes, looking at the kilted dummy on display, at least one of them does come with a belt as well as a waistcoat but at least a choice of black hose as well as the universal white.
If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!

So the Hire Shops are going the way of Pipe Bands, which all wore white throughout the 1990s and up until the late 2000s but now have nearly all switched to black.
Makes you want to scream for anything else!
Not a fan of the black hose/shoes/flashes thing. In my way of thinking, you have three opportunities for colour there on the leg, so make the most of it. If the shoes are black, then anything BUT black for the hose and flashes.

This is why I started dying my compression socks that only come in black or white - living COLOR

Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.
