Ok, I am going to briefly go off topic here(sorry to all),but something that MacWage said, in this thread, has made me wonder.Do married men in the USA(anywhere else?) wear a wedding ring, as well as their wives?

Yeah, married men wear a ring as well. As McWage so expertly devised I am not the groom or I would have been dressed nicer. She is a good friend of mine, that was just the only picture of me with the phone visible. Now about the elastic. . .right again. I was not wearing traditional kilt hose because those, as well as my sporran are lost in the mail. My over the calf dress socks came somewhat unfolded revealing my unsightly elastic, didnt notice till I was the pic. Oh well. Any comments about knee high dress socks instead of kilt hose, it was very comfortable and let my legs breathe.

Most often, yes.

I have known couples where one wears a wedding ring and the other does not and it has been either way. I have also known couples where neither one wears a ring. BUT mostly both the husband and wife will wear a wedding ring.

Yes, many men in the US wear a wedding band on their (typically) left ring finger.

Canada too.

You know, I'm glad you mentioned that was your cell phone in your hose. I saw that in the other thread where you posted the picture and was trying to figure it out. It looked odd. I finally decided that it was just an optical illusion.

But now knowing it was your cell phone that was probably a good idea. Although it might have felt better to have your cell phone at your waist and your keys in your hose. Though I've never tried either. Hope that sporran arrives soon.

My right leg hose almost always has my sgian dubh, and my left almost always has my favorite ball point pen. I have also been known to stick sunglasses, car/truck keys and other things in them. Don't think I ever lost anything from my hose.....?

Some men over here don't wear wedding rings due to their occupation and the hazards of wearing a ring...electricians...surgeons...firefighters...

I like the idea of alternatives to sporrans and have enjoyed the creative ideas on the thread.

Visions of a nice leather pen holder to fit inside the top of my kilt hose. Something to keep me from lancing through the hose with my pens.

I know SportKilt puts a little pocket on the inside apron of their "kilts" but I've never been able to access it when wearing mine. Seems more of a secret hiding place than a functional pocket.
