    If you're dead set on wearing purple, then go with the "Fully Fashioned" variety of Lewis hose from the STM:

    That being said, you don't have to wear purple hose just because your tartan is purple. Lovat blue or green would look fine...and perhaps better.

    You could have them made by a non-pro, too.

    When given a choice, most people will choose.

    Purple is certainly one colour that you can have too much of.

    Lovat Blue or a mid to dark grey should do...at least till you manage to locate purple.

    Or try here:

    http://www.sockdreams.com/products/s...ns/kilt-socks/

    I see that they got hip to the fact that we've been checking them out and did a "kilt socks" category.

    Socks are socks and have no gender...

    If you follow the link in my post, copied below, the purple hose are on the far right of the fourth row of photos. Here's a direct link to the picture of them:

    They are available in the fully-fashioned variety, just use the drop-down menu to select "purple".
