Is there a name for this?

[Tobus]

I’ve come back and looked at the pictures and video about 3 times and
I just don’t know?

I’m not sure if I like them or not?
(How unusual for me not to have a firm opinion)

I shall follow with interest to learn about the style and any history associated with them.

In the second picture I’m going to say “it seems a younger man style”
Those socks would look great with a black canvas kilt.
And yet in the John Burgess video I think they look lovely and very dashing but still not sure if I like them overall.

I have looked at them several times, trying to be open-minded and considering the esteemed reputation of the wearer. But I just can't escape the idea that vertically-striped hose with Highland dress come under the category of "a bridge too far". There have been many variations of hose colours and patterns over the centuries, but there's a reason this particular variation never caught on. And the same applies with horizontally striped hose, for that matter. It just starts to look cartoonish.
