    My feeling on that is that if you plan to wear the socks/hose pulled up wear the matching flashes.

    Sounds good. I think that's a no then as Im planning to wear them with brown Nike Dunks (the look more like boots) and the socks look better sort of half up.

    Clan tartan--the right choice. Flashes--yes. Enjoy! I am envious of all of you able to attend! Please make sure to post pics! Cheers!

    Clan tartan, for sure. I always prefer solid garter ties to flashes...when the socks are pulled up. I always wear my hose that way, but I'm a bit of an old dog. If you're going to scrunch the hose, forget about the flashes.

    I'm glad just about everyone agrees and has helped me make my mind up.
    Give me a few mins and I'll post pics of both kilts. I always struggle to find my camera when I need it though!

    For what vegetable or garden item is Scotland known?
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    I voted clan tartan simply because of the nature of the event. For the rest of the gathering, I think you should wear whichever you like.

    From the list of tartans it seems as though USA kilts was the middleman for ScottishTartanStore... especially since Auld Lang Syne Grey is there too.
    Is there a stamp on the buckles atall?
