    On the original question: with the hose "scrunched down" the flashes and sgian dubh would look pretty silly, no? Not to say that it hasn't been seen here on this forum before.

    My personal preference is to wear 6-inch boots (laced to the top) with hose (sans flashes) up or down depending on the weather and the knife carried on the belt.

    I think we covered this in another post! I personally don't do the scrunched
    down look, if I wear high top boots{only with BW} I cuff the hose down just to the tops of the boots in neat cuffs. Knife in belt. Naturally no flashes.

    It's a slippery slope, when you get that second tartan...
