    I've always known that computer monitors are seldom color-balanced properly, but I've always felt my laptop's screen was pretty close... until I saw the photos of the bison hose, in this thread. I have a pair of bison hose from HoC that I bought last July at the museum, and a matching pair of garters ties. I must say, the photos appear much grayer than my actual hose. The hose are more like a light milk chocolate, than what I'm seeing here.

    Question ? Where can I buy the chess board top hose in Charlet red with lite blue tops along with matching garters ?
    I have found the hose at STM but not able to find any red and lite blue garters to match.
    I have went through each of the listed vendors on the new house highland web page.
    Does HOC make a matching garter ?
    Thank you for your time.

    Thomas: I'm not sure this will help, but the HOC offers a "Claret/St. Andrews Blue" Chessboard with matching garters that may be seen on page 9 of their "Country Collection" catalog at ...

    http://www.houseofcheviot.com/wp-con...OCHURE-PDF.pdf

    Towards the ends of this catalog, and also the "Highland Collection" catalog, are shown HOC's garters in a variety of colors including "Ancient Blue".

    Assuming the STM and NHH are not able to order what you are looking for, you might try the House of Labhran. Drop Tim an email at the page ...

    http://houseoflabhran.com/contact-us-2.html

    Tim has special ordered items from HOC in the past, and may very well be able to help you find the items you are looking for. He is a good business man and easy to work with.

    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Two toned garters can be ordered through any retailer, same price as the solid garter ties. Feel free to email me if you are having trouble finding a retailer to order through.

    I love mine! I've received many compliments. You'll enjoy them, just be ready to be a little creative with some extra folds, Rannochs tend to be a bit overly long when worn as kilt hose.

    I've never had a problem with the overall length, and I've never had to add extra folds.

    Yours truly in the center wearing a pair of Rannoch hose in the bracken colour. One of my favourite and "go-to" colours!

    Three gentlemanly "Scots" - not a faux pas in the group. And I looked hard. At least one of you could have worn sneakers or flip flops, so we would have something to complain about.
