White socks

[Dollander]

Okay, I did google it, and essentially they're Evangelical Presbyterians.

But back to the topic at hand, I'm guessing that the reason the hire companies go with white hose is not a matter of aesthetics but simply practicality: unlike colored hose, white ones can be cleaned with bleach and thus properly sanitized after prolonged contact with such a potentially unsavory part of the body. But seeing as how Scotweb has the Gaelic Themes hose for under £15, perhaps they could just add the price of the hose to the fee and allow the customer to keep them afterwards. Is that a lot to tack on to a rental fee? I've no idea, as I've never rented a kilt outfit, or indeed any clothing since the tuxedo I wore to my then-girlfriend's junior prom in 1993. Or again, maybe it's the practical matter of not needing to have all the various colors and sizes in stock and instead keeping it simple by only offering the most neutral option.

Meanwhile, if I may go off on my own side topic...why exactly do we hate cravats? I'd think it much more aesthetically viable to have a shorter tie when one is wearing a kilt at full rise.
