What hose with the Weathered Mackenzie?
My very sweet co-worker brought my Weathered Mackenzie to work after she finished hemming it and I wanted to wear it then. 
However, I did place an order with Oconee Leather Works today for a 2-1/2" Kilt belt, Chestnut Leather, Edge Bead Detailing. Two Thorn Roller Buckle, but now I am curious what color hose others wear with the Weathered Mackenzie? I was thinking Charcoal, Grey, Lovate Green, and Loden Green
or perhaps even Bottle Green. Any thoughts from the rabel?

I do like the ideas you have, you could also try brown, or oatmeal.

All of the above. And, I'm with Glen: oatmeal would be a winner. I wear oatmeal hose with my weathered Henderson often.

Oatmeal for me.
They blend nicely with the overall tones. Brown are a good second.
I've tried green, but something doesn't seem to mesh.

All of the above, when in doubt I usually fall back on oatmeal or lovat green....although I'm with Kevin on the green in this case...perhaps a lovat blue might go better.
Or be daring and try a nice rusty red.
What Price Glory also sells a khaki hose that goes nicely.

Excellent choice on tartans! I really enjoy mine.
I wore black with mine to the Burns Dinner. Black hose and shoes, black belt and Tie and a black/great tweed jacket. I thought it looked quite nice.

My Wife says green would work with the tartan as well so I'm bringing in some bottle green pipers hose to try with it. I need them anyway for my Saffron and Fraser Hunting kilts so at least I know they will get some wear

Well, I am bad with colors and coordination, I hate to admit. The kilt looks like it will be nice. I would go with khaki or oatmeal. (they will match the sporran nicely .
