I have to jump in on this one.White hose would be the wrong choice for the event. You want to match the jacket. See the pic posted previously. That would be the best way to wear your saffron to a semi formal event. Black jacket, black hose and as mentioned by a previous post go to the fabric store and get ribbon to match the kilt and make a set quickly and cheaply.

It is my opinion that white hose should rarely be worn. The only exception is when you are going casual and wearing a white shirt. You want the focus on you, your face, not your socks! The eye will naturally travel to the area of greates brightness. Put the focus on your best asset.

Gaian, I would disagree with you on this one. I could never see myself in black hose with a PC. Given KT's choices, I'd go with black flashes, although I'd wear saffron flashes if I had them in an exact match. My C$.02.

I would wear the black flashes with cream, off white, or wheat colored kilt hose.

Has ANYONE seen ribbon in a fabric or craft store in Saffron (in the brown-ish shade)????

If one has, PLEASE tell the many on this board who own saffron kilts! Flashes are NOT hard to make, though fabric ones take a good bit more time than cut, coterized (sp?), and sewn grosgrain ribbon.


Black hose with saffron flashes would look NICE (thanks, Todd, for the pic).
What do ya'll think of a saffron with white hose?

Noooo.... but how about white spray painted with the right color - might work in a pinch.




What?



I know.... Red Green would use duck tape.

Right or wrong, that Pipers uniform looks awesome. So good, I'm tempted to take a pair of my cream kilt socks and die them black.

I was a bit concerned that wearing black with my saffron would look too much like halloween decorations but tomorrow will be Saffron kilt day with black shirt and leathers ... drat!...I don't have a black belt to go with the kilt. OK, next week will be Saffron kilt day with black shirt and leathers. That will give me time to die my socks also.

For saffron flashes you could also buy one of the saffron ties Stillwater has and cut it down. Not the most economical...but anything in a pinch.
