Olive drab kilt hose?
Anyone know where you can get a pair of OD kilt hose or something close to that color?

Scotweb carries a line of hose that are called country socks, which include several varieties that have loden color. I can attest that the loden is very close to OD green if not identical---it is not forest or tartan or lovat or sage green.

Canadian Casual Kilts has Piper's Hose in a color they call Khaki but I think we'd say Olive Drab. Got a pair recently and just ordered another.

Not (technically speaking ) kilt hose, but over the calf and gen-you-wine USGI:

or perhaps

khaki, but appealingly GI as well.

From the same mill, STM and Keltoi have the Lewis hose.

You didn't mention the military, but the colour we call "olive drab" in the US is called "khaki" in the UK.
Here's a member of The Royal Regiment of Scotland in his khaki No2 Dress jacket with Lovat hose (note that the hose are not the same colour as the jacket:
The shirt's colour is called "light khaki" and is what Americans call "khaki".

My Lovat green hose are fairly close to my old Marine Corps PT gear. Not exactly the same, but close.
