I've read that diced hose are fine with anything. I've also seen pictures of some dedicated re-enactment gentlemen who said in the accompanying text that their diced hose indicated a Highland policeman, post-Culloden, working for the English.

Is that only true for his red-and-white diced hose? I'd planned to wear red-and-black diced with my historical kit, but I'll choose something else rather than be taken for an employee of the English.

Cheers.
