In terms of hose - HoC are very good and recommended by many - but you can get hand-knit, custom fit for the the same price - that way you can choose whatever colours you like.

I particularly like the diced-cuff style that Prince Charles (the Duke of Rothesay) often wears and have had 2 pairs made (and likely to get more in the future) from Anne Stewart Knitwear - http://www.annestewartknitwear.com/kilt_hose.html

MacGregor and MacDuff also have some kilt hose listed on their ebay shop with a couple of slightly unusual colours (brown and a mid-blue - it's darker than lovat and lighter than navy).
