    Match or not?

    OK. I bought a pair of hose that I think will go well with my SWK Black Watch tartan. Let me know what you crazy kids think.

    Yay or nay?

    Absolutely! The color blends well with the tartan without being matchy-matchy.

    Awesome! Thanks everybody for the feedback. I usually have a horrible eye for colors.

    I recently bought black hose for my black stewart SWK, but wasn't so worried about those two matching. lol

    Should look excelent! Like McFarkus said, if two things match too closely, without being an obvious en suite deal, they tend to look a bit off- contrived, but not necessarily in a good way. That kilt and pair of hose will get you just the right look.

    I really like the look and alternate between black and bottle green hose with my BW SWK standard. I actually like the green a tad more, though.

    Yea, should look great. Take a look at hose tops, too...that'd really pop.

    I think the hose and kilt will work well together.
