This is it so far .. boots again, (sorry)

Thanks everyone for your input.
I did have some green socks so I have experimented with them and boots and pullover. Further comments again gratefully received. Here are some options so far. I have not joined the pictures together just in case Graham thinks there are quads in the family. I would have placed a smiling face here but everytime I select an icon it only puts it in the title. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks again
Derek

Select the smilie from the right side of the input box.

Looks really cool by the way. Light top - light bottom and dark top - dark bottom are much more balanced. By the way... how can you be in same position in every picture? You never move? Even the pleats look just the same

I know the real Derek, and that isn't him. It is a cardboard cut-out with interchangeable legs and sweater.

Sorry Derek, only joking.

Seriously though, I think the green hose looks better with the dark sweater.

Best wishes, and give my regards to Elaine.

I had the same thought! But if its just a lifesize cutout, that would explain it! And I like the first 3, but don't care for the light hose and shoes with the dark top.

I reckon you've got the best look with the first two pictures.
The light top and hose I have to agree with Hamish would be just the job for those summer evenings down the pub or just relaxing.
Can we have a close up pic of those boots please? and where can they be found?
All the best.

First pic has my vote.. It has the best balance.

But I haven't been able to find them in the current on-line Converse catalog.

Derek,

Well, No.3 is so perfectly balanced, but it is essentially a summer look (I'll expect to see that lot on you next summer!). So, really, it's down to No.1 for me, which could be improved with khaki, rather than green, hose - but that's a minor-ish detail!

As John mentioned recently, The Sock Company - Country (in Powys!) has a great selection of what they call "Shooting Stockings" which are perfect for kilt-wear. ( www.sock-co-country.co.uk ) I've several pairs which cost £12.00 pp and khaki features strongly amongst them. Viz:
