Hose: To Contrast, Complement and Harmonize

[SlackerDrummer]

As I said in my email to you, if you are looking for a red-toned hose that would tone well with that tartan, I'd recommend the claret over the orange of the "ancient red." My reason is that the claret has "cooler" tones that I think correspond better to the kilt, whereas the orange is a warmer color.

Matt has beaten me to the draw, but I agree, claret is the way to go in my view, if a"red tone" is the route you want to go down.

But the red in Jock Scot's kilt is the warm-toned ancient red and his hose here are the cool-toned claret.



That's a two-way street. I think the claret hose are a nice complement and the ancient red hose are a nice contrast. It sort of depends on the rest of the outfit as to which one is "better".
