Sad times.
I've always loved the beautiful uniforms of their Pipes & Drums

An utter aside, but I would love to have a pair of those grey & blue full hose.

Thanks!
I would need to know the height of the hose, and the calf width, to know if they would fit.
Some hose makers make the foot portion longer and longer as the sizing goes up but leave the rest of the hose the same for all sizes.
Sometimes full diced hose are tubes, not getting bigger around the calves.
I'll contact them and see if they have full measurements for those hose. The price is quite good.

I wonder what will happen if anything to the Toronto Scottish? Here I am from the 2019 St Andrews Day ball with a member of the Toronto Scottish. We were talking and he said I was the only person in the room who knew what the uniform was. Most people thought he was wearing a tweed kilt suit.

It's sad, there seems to be someone hell bent on stripping out any vestiges of historical regiments in the name of 'modernisation' whilst ignoring the fact that esprit du Corp plays a key part in maintaining a soldier's morale during the toughest times. It can be dressed up as cost saving and modernisation but I'll bet the saving is minimal and the same individuals who claim scrapping historical regiments or their vestiges is modernisation would be up in arms if anyone tried to strip the guards brigade of their busbies and tunics...

Everything you say is true, but the British Army has changed, adjusted, amalgamated, re-named, re-badged assorted Regiments many times before and no doubt will do it again and again. Its the way it goes sometimes.
