So how is this?

[Drac]

Thank you all for the help and advise.

I do want to redeem myself in some small way on the white hose issue. They are actually cream colored.

Off topic - I am not a Sea Bee myself but am attached to a battalion in Fort Worth for drilling purposes. I am attached to a Spec War unit for training purposes. So far I've been attached to a ship (AOE-4), an amphib combat unit (BMU-2), an airdal unit (CVN PAC), an intel unit (never did anything with them or even saw them but I was attached), a ground pounder unit (CB) and spec war. I figure if I can get into a sub unit in the next six years I will have covered every part of the Navy before I retire.

White and Cream are looked upon basically the same, rental shops started the custom of white/cream hose as they are cheaper to provide, hence, when wearing white or cream hose you look as though you rented the outfit.

[sfb]

Nope. Cream's different from white. In Scotland, at least.

That depends which Scotsman you ask I suppose.

[sfb]

Well, yes. That kind of goes without saying.

But even objectively, cream's different from white.

[Garry Oak]

That the topic even came up suggests to me that Drac's next pair of hose will probably be in a colour that can't be mistaken for either cream or white.

[sfb]

Err on the side of safety, that's my view.

Lookin sharp buddy.

As for me, I like the full Fly Plaid, always looks very elegant.
