    The red hose look great when worn, as you have, with mostly dark colors. I think that red hose would be too much if they were worn along with a predominently bright red tartan or a red shirt. To my eye the color is just too dominating to be worn from head to toe. I wish red hose were easier to come by.

    Well, they're available at the STM, in a couple of shades of red, as we know. Also, Hamilton Dry Goods carries a cable knit (cotton?) red hose most of the time. That red, from what I can tell, is a "true red."
