They do have these hose in brown. That would be a wool acrylic fifty/fifty blend, so they are woolly lamb leg hose...

I should probably think a bit about the color of the flashes with the brown hose. I have maching tartan flashes that might work, but I might also pick a color out of the kilt and go with that contrast. I might also look over my color charts and see what might go best against the brown... I'm going to have to get some sighted help for that part I think.

I have been playing with the idea of having flashes made from the corduroy that is being removed from the jacket, but I don't know if that would work so well. I might have that material made into a driving cap. It would probably be best to look into getting traditional garter ties from The Scottish Tartans Museum.
Ted,
in case you haven't seen it yet over on your other (gardening) thread, I mentioned you might also consider the "Bison" colored Lewis hose along with the brown ones. The Bison is a tan-oatmeal color (some might call it a grayish-brown).

I think black garters would compliment both these & the brown hose, and go well with your weathered Lamont.
