Maybe I'll just have to go for the purple option after all, Jamie

Andrewson,
I have have found that subtle green shirts work perfectly


These pictures (and a lot more) were posted in this thread where my lovely wife and I reviewed our new kilts from Steve Ashton at Freedom Kilts (a lot of people didn't notice my contributions as they were too taken by the F-H.C.A.G. in a "Pink Death Camo" mini.

I went with the Lewis purple hose and Lovat green traditional garter ties from the Scottish Tartans Museum because I thought they would work with either black or brown leather accessories.
I wouldn't personally wear IoS with a black shirt or hose because there is no black to pull out from the tartan and the black doesn't compliment / contrast with any of the tartan's colors.
Tan, oatmeal, brown,green, pale green, lavender, and of course purple seem the best choices to go with the lovely IoS.
Cheers
Jamie
