    I think that I like the look of black kilt hose with the Black Watch tartan, as opposed to white. What color flashes would go well with black hose? I think that the matching tartan flashes will blen to much, any ideas?

    Red, man! Red looks KILLER with dark tartans! I have a Nightstalker from Stillwater Kilts, and I actually wear red hose with it. Makes one heck of a stunning contrast.

    We need a "duck and cover" smilie.

    White and black hose (as I have learned from experience) aren't thought of to highly. Normally considered cheap, tacky and something that smacks of "rental."

    I will add that for the most part I have come to agree with them that other colors of hose look way nicer. The area I disagree is when I'm wearing a solid black outfit but that's a tale for another thread down in the Modern section.

    Any number of hose would go great with the outfit. I would favor (personal opinion only) green with red flashes or better yet garters.

    Something that hasn't been brought up that I noticed is the sgian dubh. While traditional I assume your school bans blades?

    I'm in the camp that loves black hose. I say wear them.
