Diced hose for daywear?

[Dall_Piobaire]

Red and green or red and white are my opinions.

t
I know, red and green would be so obvious and probably look great! I was just worried about looking to much like a overly tall Christmas elf. Maybe I shoud just go with it!

Thanks for your input, very appreciated!

I'd opt for the livery colours (which is what I've done).

Now, for those who are sitting there, scratching their noggin' and asking, "What's a livery colour?"-- and no, it isn't a brownish red-- allow me to explain.

Livery colours are usually derived from the first named metal and colour as they appear in the blazon of a coat of arms. So, if the shield is Argent (silver, usually depicted as the colour white) and the principle charge, in this instance let's say a lion, is Azure (which is blue) then the livery colours would be blue and white.

Wearing diced hose in your livery colours would be an exceptionally sly thing to do. Go for it!

Always a pleasure to have your input sir, it's valued and appreciated. In fact I was going to query you on this very issue. I was going to ask your opinion on the colours as an article of clothing, or pipe banners or ribbons.

Azure on Argent would cetainly be eye popping with modern Boyd

We've have also discussed clan badge cockades made of livery colours too

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

In civilian life chiefs, chieftains, and lairds (the duine uasail, or "gentlemen of the clan") are generally entitled to pipe banners. These should display the arms over the whole banner. The ribbons (and cords) of the pipes should reflect the livery colours of the pipe banner. For those interested, a chief has three pipers, a chieftain two, and a duine uasail one piper. Only the senior piper of a chief or chieftain, as well as the piper of a duine uasail, bear the pipe banner, which is attached to the tallest drone by ribbons. The pipe banner is only displayed when the chief, chieftain, or duine uasail is personally present.

Good thing I'm not my clan chief. Oddly, his livery colors are white and white.
