I'm trying to steer away from Lovat blue as it is just too light a blue for my taste for hose. And I guess I always thought navy and black was a no-no because of seeing guys in navy slacks w/ jet-black suit coats and remember it looking a bit odd. The Lovat is looking more attractive for now for the Scotland the Brave and at a later date I'll get something else for the Sutherland. Hmm...these are the types of problems you WANT to have, am I right? I think a grey argyll would look good for semi-dress with the Scotland the Brave and the Lovat green hose too. Maybe I'll try to get one of those as well. A little hard sometimes given my light-mocha complexion.
