Well, paulhenry is an actual kiltmaker who lives in the UK, he knows his stuff and he is calling me out for continuing to overthink this. To me that is a big deal that he noticed I had already been tutt-tutted by someone else.

On the other hand, I have another current thread open in another tab....this was posted on 1-4-2012 at 0448AM, unknown timezone but not twenty years ago:



So there is the recurring theme again. If you are going to wear a clan tartan, pick one clan and one clan only.

If paulhenry says red and black diced are just hose, well, they are just hose. I don't doubt him.

But I don't think I am going to buy the hose either. I think I would rather find something else with less risk of causing unintended offense to someone less informed than paulhenry.
I find it rather odd how quickly you dismiss the advice given by some due to their place of abode, as if their opinions are wrong or at the least do not matter. If you only trust Scots, why didn't you send a PM to one, or at least state in your OP that "real Scots" only need apply?

I stand by the advice I gave you: Yes red and black diced hose are acceptible. Don't over-think this, relax, and don't worry.
