    I'd have to say every colour goes with Black Watch tartan, except white. Black looks pretty dismal though.

    Your green hose will be perfect.

    I think it's hard to go wrong with hose in lovat blue, lovat green, bottle green, and dark red for just about any tartan. Okay, maybe not dark red with a red-based kilt in the Ancient color scheme.

    Being overly matchy looks contrived to my eye. Akin to having every bit of your clothing bear a "clan crest". Just overdone...

    Those hose will go perfectly with you Black Watc kilt, they will also go very well with the Black Stewart. I have a pair of hose just like those that I wear with both SWK Black Watch and Black Stewart kilts.

    Hmmm...where is Jock Scot to say "In the Highlands we really don't worry much about matching!"

    To my American sensibility, though, I think those hose will look splendid with your Black Watch kilt.

    "Now, Brian," Jock says with his English accent, "don't get all wound up about this matching business."
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    LOL, Ted, the more I am here the more I agree that the whole matching business - with Highland attire, at least - is highly overrated.

    I'm also guessing that Jock would address me in a Scottish, rather than an English, accent

    Regards,

    Brian

    Unless that fight Jock had with the tree changed it, Brian, I'm sticking with English accent.

    Gosh the tree! How could I forget that! Brian, Ted has the advantage over you------we have spoken on the telephone. The accent is English, sorry.
