Color Hose with Army Tartan

[Woodsheal]

Were you in the Army? Could you coordinate the hose so the flashes could represent the branch of the service? I like the use of the red flashes but then I was a cannon cocker.

I'd go with the red flashes, too....

That is a very nice look. If you get in a rush, try a BSA (Boy Scouts) supplier for green stockings and red flashes! Unless they've changed the colors in recent years...

I think I still have a couple of pairs; but they are not as thick and luxurious as the wool socks I now crave.

Of the hose I have, Navy Blue actually works the best (Irony). If you don't plan on buying more, the go with the black. I dont have bottle green to compare, but my lovat green just don't work.

I suggest diced hose. They're a little pricey, but my pair from J. Higgins has held up really well over several years. I think they are the perfect way to set off an outfit that involves a military tartan. I often wear mine with my leatherneck kilt for black tie occasions. Once additional nice touch would be a set of your miniature medals for your lapel.

While I currently own just 2 pair of kilt hose, I'm gonna have to agree with Arrogcow, navy blue goes extremely well with this tartan.

First to fire ... ADA!
