I've never had a problem with the overall length, and I've never had to add extra folds.

Yours truly in the center wearing a pair of Rannoch hose in the bracken colour. One of my favourite and "go-to" colours!

Three gentlemanly "Scots" - not a faux pas in the group. And I looked hard. At least one of you could have worn sneakers or flip flops, so we would have something to complain about.

Hahahaha! Thanks, mate! We called ourselves, "The Lairds of Forest Park." 2013 St. Louis Scottish Games in Forest Park, St. Louis, Missouri.

Cheers,

Picking the nits a lot maybe red flashes with red hose?

Well, I kind of like that - might try it myself sometime.

I have a red Ryan Ross tam with a white toorie that I wear around Christmas with my Blaylock kilt (very red). The red hose and red flashes would certainly look cool (match-matchy) with that.

I do that occasionally. I rather like the self coloured look sometimes.

I've got it! The knot in Kyle's tie is hanging across to the left a bit. And on a less serious note, Kyle, where did you pick up the balmoral with the small saltire stuck in the top? I don't know that the look will catch on though.

Ian: Good eye! I missed that flagpole sticking right out of the top of Kyle's balmoral while not interfering with the toorie. Nice patriotic touch, though.

Well, these arrived today. Always a bit hit and miss, I feel, ordering by colour choice based on pictures seen on a monitor. However, I am absolutely delighted. I am familiar with the quality of House of Cheviot socks, so that was no surprise, but the colour was just as I had hoped, sitting somewhere between tartan red and claret. These brick red Rannoch's will pick out the red line in my Lochcarron Robertson Ancient Hunting a treat. Happy days indeed.
