Recently, someone had posted a thread asking about what color hose would go with the Holyrood tartan. Of course, the answers were varied, and they all seemed to go very nicely with it, but my response was claret. The grey seemed to be a color that washed out the tartan; not enough contrast. And, as my kilt wearing progresses, I now prefer, not so much the matchy-matchy stuff, but, a color that will complement the tartan

Now, it got me thinking as to what hose color I prefer. I do like the standard colors: bottle, lovats blue and green, Navy, and brown. But, for some reason, claret has become my go to hose with many of my kilts. I kind of picked up the idea from OC Richard when I met him at the Highland Games in West Virginia. He's a tall guy, and very 'eye catching.' He was wearing his Isle of Skye kilt with claret hose. Now that was something that I really liked, and now I prefer it the most.






So, lets hear from the rabble on what you all like!
