Show us your kilt hose!

I love my hose! I’ve built quite a collection. House of Cheviot is a mainstay. When I visited last summer the Scottish Tartans Museum I wore my box pleat made by Matt in the St. Columba tartan. Matt and I both have names tied to this Irish Saint who founded Iona Abbey to evangelize Alba in the 5th century. We approached hose color coordination to our tartan in the Lewis line in different ways.

I have a number Lewis hose, black, navy included. On a fall special at STM, I picked up these Lewis hose in mustard and using a matching garter went with this eye catching contrasting look. I personally like it, but know many of you don’t.

I have a pair of ancient red on order. I plan to match the garters, also.

Chris Taylor [Redshanks, here] at Dunadd Trading Company got me on to tartan top hose from the House of Cheviot.

I would later add the Royal Scot full tartan hose which goes well with Malcolm modern tartan kilt.

I don’t think you can beat House of Cheviot hose.

In 2009, Panache challenged us at XMarks to save up our change and had Josh at Skye Highland Trading order for several us that did these custom made Argyll hose to match the XMarks the Scot tartan.

Last year for a Christmas gift I received these custom Argyll hose from D & D Fiber to match my tank in ancient Malcolm tartan. These are both great pairs of hose!

My favorite summer hose are cotton hose that I get from The Scottish Trading Company. They are perfect for the hot and humid summers here in the south. Besides this red pair, I have them in black, forest and egad, oatmeal! The oatmeal has multi-colored specks in them so they are a little different that the run of the mill crème hose.
