    Re: What colour hose and flashes would work best?

    I see what your saying Jock and davidg,

    By way of example, If I were wearing a Stewart black kilt, and Stewart hunting flashes that would be ok (i.e. same clan). Or Differing sett sized of the same clan tartan. However, If I were wearing a stewart black kilt and say MacDonald flashes, that's not seen as acceptable. Correct?

    I guess, like Jock pointed out, if your wearing your clan tartan kilt (MacDonald) and your district tartan flashes (Nfld. Provincial), that's more of a grey area, and ok.

    To split hairs even further, how about if you wore a MacDonald kilt (his Father's side) and MacLeod flashes (Mother's side)? Would the family affinity supersede the mixing of clan tartan's there?

    Just trying to work out the do's and don'ts =)

    I'm with Jock though, I tend to wear solid flashes. Particularly red. But if I do wear Tartan flashes, it's always the matching tartan.
