    Purple Lewis Kilt Hose With Isle of Skye Tartan

    Bought some purple Lewis kilt hose from the Scottish Tartans Museum to see if they'd work with my Isle of Skye and Warrior tartans.

    Here's a pic with the Isle of Skye.



    This is what I'm wearing at work today. Nary a comment from anyone other than a new client passing me in the hallway asking, "Where's your pipes?" Answered, "Under me kilt." And that was that.

    But I was pleased how well the purple Lewis hose work with the Isle of Skye...know there's more Isle of Skye fans out there...so..hey, it works.

    Ron, I never would have thought such a dark purple would work, but it really does.
    As usual you just make it look good.

    Ron, that Isle of Skye just gets better looking! And kudos to another man who likes collarless shirts. Looking sharp.

    Ok, I've never seen any reason to make a "me too" post before, but for this I have to make an exception. I REALLY like that look!

    That looks great! I've got three colors of the Lewis kilt hose . . . I think I'll have to pick up a few more colors now.
