Well there is no doubt that there is historical precedent to back up the argument, but these days I think that argyll hose with tweed jackets could be considered rather on the more theatrical side and generally unnecessary and is rarely seen worn thus, by the locals, these days here. So I suppose, they are really considered to be in the historical category, but if you want to wear them, then its hardly a hanging offence.
Interestingly, argyll hose, or diced hose can and are worn with daywear. They are worn with the black barathea silver buttoned(BBSB) argyll jacket as morning coat equivalent for day weddings. Not for general wear of the kilted guests though, but for the members of the "first eleven" should they so choose.
In fact, I would have worn a pair of argyll hose for just such an occasion a few weeks ago, had I been able to fit them over my calves-------but that is another story entirely.
