Seeking hose and garter color recomendations

[Alan H]

"Dreaded"? really.

THIS is why X Marks gets the reputation that it does.

IMHO if you have some offwhite hose, then wear it, if you like it. I have some offwhite hose and I wear it when I feel like it. If you want another color, go buy it.

Lovat Green, Lovat Blue, Bottle Green, and Claret/Dark Red hose.

Red garters/flashes is all you'll ever need.

Wear the hose you have, many people out there wear off white or white hose. Having said that if you want other colours that's fine too I would suggest either of the following:
Lovat Green, Bottle Green, Lovat Blue, St Andrews Blue Red or Claret

I agree, David. Can't go wrong with those choices there. I actually have two brand new pairs of Lewis kilt hose (made by House of Cheviot) up for sale on on the forum as we speak. One in charcoal, and the other in claret.

I think took my statement of "dreaded" too seriously. When I bought my first kilt I was not really aware that other colors were common for kilt hose.

I have worn my kilt with the off white hose and looked quite nice. I was mainly looking for suggestions to broaden my kilt hose options. I have 2 pairs off off white hose and plan to keep one pair as is and try dyeing the other. In addition a have ordered some charcoal hose and claret garters. Overall I think I will have some very nice options.

Thanks to everyone for all of the suggestions. X-marks is such a great and supportive forum and I value the things I have learned here.
