    IMHO bottle green or navy hose, paired with red or yellow flashes, would work well with Hunting Stewart.

    I really like lovat green with red flashes. You can see how it would look here if you scroll to the bottom: http://www.theblackwatch.co.uk/index/customs_traditions


    But then, there's always white!

    I'm all out. Include red-and-white diced hose among your choices.

    Bottle great tends to look great with Black Watch!
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    I HAVE to argue the "no tartan above the waist" thing. One lil' bit that can absolutely draw an outfit together is a matching tartan bowtie.

    Of course, that's me. YMMV

    We must not forget those that are keen on tartan waistcoats too.

    I love tartan waistcoats. Can't wait to get one made!
    I'm just stuck between getting silk or wool

Could you point me in the right direction so that I can study these pictures? I may not have seen them all.
    I;ve seen a few posted on this site, and I've got a couple books- one on the tactics of the battle of Culloden, and one called Tartan: The Facts and Myths- where I've seen them. One was a painting of a Jacobite wearing a kilt of one tartan, and a jacket of another. The other that I've seen was in the Tartan book- it was pointed out that they were in fact two different variants of the same tartan. One was a kilt (of course) and the other, a day plaid.

    One of the things that I like to do that makes the Kilt Police angry is to wear tartan flashes, tartan tie, black hose, white shirt- and a black Amerikilt. I personally think my Dress MacLeod accoutrements look awesome with the solid black. I want to get a Dress MacLeod waistcoat to go with that outfit. Of course, I’ll lose the tie in favor of a black or red one in that case… but that’s something that I personally really like.

    I have the very same issue!

    Back to the original question............. I prefer green hose with my Stewart Hunting and either black, red, or yellow flashes depending on the shirt or overall look.
