Matt,

Thank you for the new photos. The orange in this pic is much more yellow orange than what I noticed from the Lewis hose pic.

This has helped me make a more informed decision.

Also thank you all for your input.

None need worry about fretting over Hose.
The point of this forum for me is the discussion and ideas that come from this community of kilt wearers. When it is time to get dressed and go, I often just go with my gut.
Sometimes elegant, sometimes over the top, sometimes very sober...

Per the pictures above and the colours from the Lewis ties that Ken suggested, Thanks Ken, I personally think the Tartan Red a better combo for a red... though I still like that orange-red in the Lewis hose picture; too bad its only the picture.

peace,
justin

Here are some images that might give a better idea of the true colors.
