    I have a few pair of each (Lewis and Rannoch), and honestly, there's not a great deal of difference between the two. The Rannoch hose are generally "earthier" colors, and the hose tops have a slightly more diamond shaped pattern, while the Lewis hose have a more honeycomb-shaped pattern, and are more traditional colors.

    I've seen the Rannoch hose billed as "shooting socks" versus the Lewis hose, which are typically described as kilt hose. Perhaps this explains the difference in the color palette.

    I don't think you can go wrong, either way.

    See photo below. Rannoch on the left and Lewis on right.
