Well let's just say that I don't rule out the idea, but these days I tend not to plan too far ahead!

Great photos! I love it when people share loads of photos from Highland Games; I can almost feel like I was there.

I see from the Massed Bands/March Past photos that none of the pipe bands there are wearing white hose. Let the "white hose era" be over!

Every time I see that Black Country tartan I like it even more.

However trying to find hose that match your tartan(s) can be either difficult or expensive. Will post seperate thread for suggestions.

Thank you for sharing the great pictures with us! I haven't been to many games the past two years and these photos have helped me keep up with the goings-on.
Slainte, Bill

There are countless threads on XMTS in regards to this topic, but kilt hose do not necessarily have to match one's tartan exactly, in fact, it is probably far better that they do not. In my opinion, there is nothing inherently wrong with contrasting the colour of the kilt hose, with the colours of the tartan. Of course, pipe bands are uniform, so obviously, all members will (should) have the same style and colour of kilt hose.

Cheers,
