Brick Red Hose

[Sharkman]

I really appreciate everyone's input. I am still deciding whether the Brick Red or possibly some Claret hose might just be the choice. I do like Tobus' opinion that colored flashes might just add the proper touch of "Pop!". Subdued but still changing things up. I also agree with him on the Bottle Green hose, which I also own. They are a bit "matchy", so maybe the colored flashes will do the trick.

Much to consider still. Luckily I have some time to decide.

Thank you all for your ideas!

I really like claret hose and I think they work well with green based tartans. Here is a photo of me with the Graham of Mentieth tartan with bowmore hose from House of Cheviot.

I don't know why I didn't think of this before. Here are 2 pics of my Stillwater Black Watch kilt and my Glenmore Brick Red hose. Now you can see how they go together. Hope this helps.

Sharkman , Claret hose is a very fine choice . If one is looking for a red based hose to accent their attire ... but not sure if the " brick red " color is quite right ... then the claret fits the bill quite nicely . You still get the accent of a red , but it's a bit more toned down than the brick red .

Just a thought . Cheers , Mike

Thanks for the link to my website, guys! However, that is a seriously old URL, and one that I was not even aware was active any longer. To go to the current page were we are offering our hand knit top kilt hose, follow this link:

And if you are just interested in browsing House of Cheviot hose in general, here is the page for that:

From there you can find a listing of many retailers who carry House of Cheviot in the US, including some of the fine sponsors on this forum.

Cheers!

As for red hose, I think they look great - I prefer them with darker tartans, actually, that have little to no red in them. It is nice if there is a minor red stripe in the tartan for the hose color to tie into, but it's not necessary. I think they'd look just great with the Black Watch.

I, personally, prefer the somewhat darker colors of brick red or claret to a bright tartan red.

I reply to this thread only because my Daughter-in-law has "brick red" walls in her kitchen. In the picture of Charles and Diana his hose are that color, not the brighter red in some of the other photos. I'm certainly not a color expert and this is just my opinion.
