What have I done?!?!?!?

Anyone have thoughts on the color of socks?

Hello from the Louisville, KY area!

I own a SWK Economy Black Watch and the thing is fierce, you made a good choice for your first kilt.

As for hose (or socks), since you'll be wearing the Black Watch tartan I'd recommend in order of personal preference mind you:

1. A Pair of Lovat Green hose w/red flashes
2. A pair of Khaki Hose w/ red flashes

You can find them at JD Higgins for super cheap. What Price Glory also has the 'military' hose for the BW kilt, but their website states they are roughly 100 orders behind so you may not get them in time for your Fest.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Did you find the sizing of SWK to be accurate? I ordered according to my naval measurement (40") and the only option I had was for a 42". My wife is an excellent seamstress and can make any minor adjustments, but if it is waaay oversized I won't have time to get a replacement.
