Hose and Shoes

[SJCurrence]

I agree with that.



I never considered that before, and I do believe you're right!



As far as hose are concerned, I always wear them -- pulled up, with garter ties -- when I'm wearing a tartan kilt and, so far, have never worn them with my 5.11 Tactical TDKs. Pretty much all I wear are from House of Cheviot, via Matt Newsome at New House Highland:

As for footwear, there are all sorts of possibilities I think can look good for casual wear, depending on the circumstances. Here are some of the ones I wear.

Timberland boots:




Brogued ankle boots:





Timberland chukkas:





Dinner in San Francisco: These black wingtip brogues from Rockport are actually steel-toed work shoes.





Some "smart casual" 5-eyelet shoes from Neil M, via Orvis:





Even laceless slip-ons, while certainly nontraditional, can look decent in a casual setting:

Sir, I like that belt, where did you pick it up?

I wear loafers with my hose when dressed casual. Reenacting is where I feel the more comfortable and then it's mogans (footless tartan hose) with my bare feet.
