I'm okay about non-pipers wearing piper hose. But, the military horsehair sporran looks comical on non-pipers. Sorry, no offense intended.

Would you say that to our own Matt Newsome?

I know, but that doesn't make it right.

Hey Kilted in Maine
I get my "piper"/"pipe" hose from IrishKilts.net and have them in all the different greens and blues. They tend to be larger on top so they easily fit my rather large calfs (sp) (22"). I'm not a piper either as I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, but really like the hose from them. They hold up well to wear and I keep them up with the large sized garter ties from Tartan Museum. They are very similar to the ones shown already on this thread.

The popcorn top hose in any colour but white is fine, but white should be left to pipers.
As far as hair sporrans I agree to a certain extent. If your dressed casually or even in just a PC they look a bit odd to me. With a doublet I think they look fine. I guess to me it works because of a doublet's resemblance to military /piper attire anyway so it doesn't seem to look out of place.
