    I found these. Sock Dreams

    Somebody posted some of their crazier styles a while back and I remembered seeing some that actually looked pretty nice. If you click on the "Hunter" color, they even have a picture of a man in a kilt and boots.

    I went ahead and ordered some tan ones. 8.00$ plus free first class shipping isn't too shabby. I'll post a review when I get them. Hopefully they're tall enough for my skinny legs.

    Black, Brown or khaki works good with OD green.. My opinion

    What color is your shirt? Since everything else you're wearing is basically neutral, you could inject some excitement into the outfit with a strongly colored shirt and matching hose. Burnt orange and dark red would be attractive foils to the olive and brownish tones.

    I was planning on wearing a light tan shirt. Think Hawaiian shirt, minus the print. I do have a couple maroon shirts I could try and see if that works or not.

    Can't do burnt orange. I'd be supporting my father-in-law's team. That's a no-no.

    These are the ones I ordered yesterday (ignore the female model... )



    I think I'm going to check the sporting goods store for some maroon soccer socks this weekend. See how that works.

    I received my tan hose from Sock Dreams that I linked previously. Here's my review.

    Large gentleman need not apply if you do not intend to scrunch them down. They fit my skinny legs perfectly.

    They measure 20.5" from heel to top, with 3" of non diamond knit at the top. I have 15" calves and am 6' tall. They're perfect size for me to fold them so the non diamond knit is folded under.

    They feel nice and are quite light. We'll see how well they do in the June heat next weekend.
