what kilt hose to wear?

[M. A. C. Newsome]

I'll second McMurdo. There are some who claim Argyle (tartan) hose should be reserved for evening wear, but I don't subscribe to that opinion. They evolved from the tartan cadadh that were worn on all occasions, so I beleive they can easily be worn for daywear, which the above photos illustrate well.

I quite agree, although it is not traditional in Scotland to wear tartan hose with daywear such as a tweed jacket. Also at £100 a time I think most Scots would opt for the more (financially) sensible choice of self-coloured hose for daywear.
