    hose colour...

    I would suggest a Lovat Green, which is similar to Sage Green, or Oatmeal hose.

    You've chosen a grand tartan!

    Cheers,

    Todd

    I wear Oatmeal or Beige kilt hose 99% of the time since it seems to suit virtually any tartan (and most plain) kilts in my "Kollection".

    Unfortunately, I cannot visualise the Mayo County tartan off the top of my head. Three of the on-line Tartan Search facilities I have bookmarked cannot trace it (!) and it does not feature in any of my books - but I'm sure you'd be fine with Oatmeal or Beige!

    At the eleventh hour, good old Google comes up trumps, however, with:



    and I stick with what I have stated above!

    Take care,
    Ham.
    (PS: That is one really nice tartan - it could be going on my 'wants' list!)

    Co. Mayo tartan...

    Same here, Hamish! And I agree with your thought that Oatmeal would look the best, even over Lovat Green. Imagine that with an Arran Island sweater! :mrgreen:

    Cheers,

    Only for others, Al. - not for me!

    Actually, I do have cream, off-white and pure white hose, but I wear it only when I want to look like everyone else!
