REVIEW: Tartan hose cuffs = £30! Henderson Highland Hose

[Paul]

Verra nice, Paul. I have always liked this particular style of hose. I have a photo somewhere of some members of the Cameronians wearing similar hose on parade in Mayala in the 1950s.

And me also - McMurdo's the one who really made me want a pair. I think a few other members have some as well.
The Cameronians seem to have had a range of dresses from the pictures and paintings I've seen. I've never seen any millitary wearing Argyll or diced cuffs though... would be interesting.

And scroll down to the picture with the caption: "1st Battalion, Malaya 1950-53".

A depiction of said uniform by military artist Mike Chappell can be found in the Osprey Book "The Malayan Campaign 1948–60".

Very nice hose at a good price! The foot and leg portion of the hose appear to be black. Is this correct, Paul?

Yes, the solid colour is black.
