My question Beuth Sim is what shoes will you be wearing? I am just not sure how these will look with normal oxford type shoes.

Well let's see? I have a pair of ankle high gillies, really nice. I have a pair of knee high ghillie boots. {medeval moccasins made them.}, I've spats, boots, Maybe my Tacticals! That way they would fit down in the top of the boot!

Hose tops are really only meant to be worn with spats & military issue shoes; the first web site says that the Calgary Highlanders other ranks (enlisted men) wear Oxford cap toe shoes, while NCO's and officers wear brogues:

I recently discovered this image of the Highland Light Infantry in the Boer War:

Notice the "colonial" style slouch hats, kilt aprons and the hose tops worn with puttees.
Cheers,

Interesting thread.
But, do the hose tops get tucked into the shoe, or lay on top of the shoe, or what?
