Those are some fine kilt hose Sir. May I ask what tartan the kilt is? Looks great on you..
Thank you. I bought the hose from Kilted Carver a short time after I joined the board. I need to find out where to get more, as they are my favorite, as well.
The kilt is Marton Mills' PV Fraser Hunting Ancient. It's far different from any other of the Fraser Hunting Ancients that I've seen from other weavers - it's much darker and less faded, and has only red stripes where the others have a red and white. I had honestly wanted the other style when I ordered the kilt, but I forgot to ask for the weaver or a sample of the fabric before I ordered - but it has really grown on me since then.
A thread on this tartan was started in 2007 and Cajunscot posted this very interesting article about Fraser tartans by Lady Saltoun, Chief of the name and arms of Fraser: http://www.fraserchief.co.uk/tartans.html
