Garter Colors - What would you pick?

[JamesA]

I think if I were wearing a black shirt, I would go with the black hose and bottle green garters. With the sweater, I would change that to a hose color that matched it with the St. Andrew's blue garters.

Thanks James. I had been wondering if St. Andrew's blue was too "bright"?
I do like the color however.
Perhaps with the Bison hose (it's a tannish/oatmeal color).
Not sure how the brown hose would match the sweater

Another hose color I like is Bottle Green.

I'd consider Lovet green hose and ancient blue garter myself - weather hues of the kilt.

My pending Newsome is a MacLachlan Ancient and on Matt's recommendation I'm going ancient blue Lewis hose with ancient red garters. Though I hope the ancient red is not as orange as it appears in your pic.

Now isn't the celebration of getting a Newsome box pleat reason enough to purchase all of the above mentioned garters. I know those that have worn these are forever sworn off of flashes.

Interesting. I never thought about that color combination. Thanks Grant!

I'm sure Matt wouldn't steer you wrong
As matter of fact my hose color choices are courtesy of Mr. Newsome.
I'm still waiting to see if he'll give me some garter color recommendations (hint, hint)

Indeed!
