"Viking Style" Brouge lacing?

[Jock Scot]

I think your interpretation of “fawn” just demonstrates the problem , you see “fawn” as you see it, others see “ fawn” in a completely different light. White leaves very little doubt to what the colour is.

Actually, black to my eyes shows almost as little imagination as choosing white. For me a general purpose colour would be shades of green, or shades of red, depending on the event. Your kilt hose don’t have to be expensive, yes the initial purchase might cost a Pound or two more than white hose but with diligent searching good value can be found particularly if the hose are washed carefully and diligently.

Many of my pairs of hose have been worn several times a week( different hose every day!) out in the shooting field and then worn with the kilt as well————-after washing , I might add! At a guess most of my hose probably, with a bit of luck, last about two or three years. Looked at it that way with the expense spread over that period of time I honestly don’t consider my hose expensive.
