That tartan is great. I am growing to like the neutral colored tartans more and more. I'll put that one in the cue behind the other 4 or 5 I want!

About the hose. . . ah, whatever. I think it looks fine, although I prefer mine up high, but that's just because I like the feel of the pulled up hose. I have always liked my socks high. But it looks fine with them pushed down, so do what's comfortable.
