which shows the pattern in the cuff almost merging into the remainder of the hose as I think MOR is trying to point out. I find my tartan hose are a little shorter than some of the other styles anyway and I wonder if that gentleman has pulled his up a bit too far at the back although I don't actually see any matching pattern on the rest of the hose even if the cuffs were longer.
