Is there a name for this?

Those hose were discussed on an earlier thread and it's my opinion that they were woven to match (more or less) a regimental stripe necktie, probably the Cameron Highlanders.

BTW vintage Highland Dress photos usually show diced, tartan, and selfcoloured/plain/solid hose but hose in a number of patterns we don't see nowadays also are seen.

The earlier post (see link) included input from JB's daughter, 'Mags'. She said that his wife had knitted the hose.

The colours are close to those in the QOCH regimental tie but they don't appear to have the narrow yellow stripe.
