    There's no right answer to this.. Actually, there's no wrong answer to this, within reason.

    You have blue, green, red and white to work with. You can either do something obvious, like I did, and get the hose knit with the tartan pattern. Or, you could do some really cool things with just two or three of the colors. I would suggest using green or blue as the main color, and striping with red and/or white.

    The one "cool" idea that comes to mind is a bit loud, but it might work. Use the red as the main color of the hose, and argyle up some cool striping with the green, blue and the white. It may not work at all, but it's worth doing some photoshop work to see if you might like the look.

    If noting else, your hose would seriously stand out and be taken notice of, that's for sure!

    Tartan hose really stands out, but for a more plain hose I would try to make a pair with a single vertical stripe in your kilts main color along the outseride of the hose. Seen that once and really loved it
