    It may be just a trick of the light in the photo. The dark natural is very definitely brown and not charcoal. The loden color has not changed that I am aware of. Though House of Cheviot does have two colors -- loden and dark loden. The dark loden is (as the name suggests) much darker.

    Not knowing if the hose you have are loden or dark loden I can't really say if the garters will match. But if they are loden, then these garters should match well enough. Keep in mind there can be some minor color variation in yarn stocks over the years, but even if it is not a spot-on match, given the fact that all you will see when worn are the tassels, which are blended with another color anyway, I would think they would be close enough.

    I was actually hoping the loden was a bit bluer than normal and the natural more charcoal, as it appears to be in the picture. Not that the other way around is a bad thing

    Judging by the shadows, it looks like you might have two different types of light (at two different temperatures) at the top and left. That might account for the shift in white-balance.

    Speaking of loden, I just received notification that the USPS is loden my garters on the truck! Thanks, Matt.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Here's hoping that someone from Clan Claus was able to nab the brick red/moss set!
