Hose?

[Captain]

I know everyone says that diced or argyll are the dressiest hose, but I'm just not a fan of the way they look... to my eyes they almost seem to clash with most tartan patterns I've seen them with... But again, to each their own.

I personally like black kilt hose when dressing up, though I have yet to have the occasion, nor do I own black kilt hose... but just from the pics I've seen I like the looks of black hose.

You must not have seen them contrasted against fishbelly white skin and varicose veins like mine. It's not pretty.

I think black hose look horrible with formal outfits. If you want that much black, wear pants.

I agree. I've never been a big fan.

Argyll or tartan hose are generally woven to match the tartan of your kilt; for example, when I had my tartan hose woven to match my kilt, I sent a swatch of material that my kiltmaker provided me so that the hose would be a match. They're not supposed to clash.

Diced and tartan are the epitome of a sharp dressed kiltie, INMHO.
