    What flashes/hose would go well with this?

    http://www.usakilts.com/store/tartans/anderson.jpg

    I got an Anderson tartan kilt for an Anderson buddy of mine as a Christmas gift. I'm debating on the color of hose/flashes to get to go with it. I'm thinking red and navy- but which? Red socks and navy flashes, or navy socks and red flashes? Opinions?

    I think that all depends on your friend and his personality, you could make the flashes question easy and get the matching tartan flashes. as for the hose, is he the type of guy who would be comfortable wearing red hose?

    Of course, if you, he or,anyone else for that matter,wish, you don't have to wear flashes at all.

    I'd go with Lovat or light blue hose and red flashes myself.

    How about Charcoal grey hose with yellow flashes?

    If you're looking for our solid color SALE flashes to match it, red black or green will go.

    FOr Anderson, I tend to like the matching flashes bc/ of that blue color...

    Hose color... cream or bottle green.

    Now there's an idea!! If USAK sold yellow flashes, I would have given it some thought- BUT I want to use Rocky and Co for this. My friend is big on buying American- and not corporate American- li'l guy American. So going with USAK is perfect all the way around.

    Thanks for the suggestion, Rocky. I'll be contacting you a week from today- when I am no longer broke! I think I'll be going with joint suggestions- your idea for red flashes, and Rex's idea fo charcoal hose. I've actually been sitting here chewing these ideas over in my mind for the last hour or so (while showering of course) and this seems like it will fit the Anderson's personality best.
