Now where does one find such kilt hose? The standard issue seems to be black, navy, bottle green, Lovatt Green, Lovatt blue, maybe a beige, cream and stark white.

Here is the Scottish Tartan Museum page on Lewis Kilt Hose they come in three different Greys

Charcoal, Grey, and Bison.

I just received a pair of Black Lewis Hose from Matt, as with all my Hawick Hose these are excellent quality.

I vote for the Black Watch, black tie, black hose combo...and, the waistcoat.

Report back on the reaction. I think you could have trouble getting in with a kilt.

So, it has been decided. As I was trying things on, I discovered that the high waisted Black Watch with the waistcoat and jacket will be WAY too warm no matter what the weather is like tomorrow, so I will be wearing the Campbell of Argyll with matching tie, and black hose, since my off white ones seem to have gone missing.

We'll be sure to take plenty of pics tomorrow.

Well the rules do say "ethnic" is okay

I look forward to the report of the event, I've always wanted to pay a visit to the Magic Castle since I was a kid!

Yes, but if there are fashion police at the door, such may need a ruling from a higher authority. Maybe. It's happened before.

The "rules" basically said coat and tie. Not once did they mention troosers

Exactly. Therein will lie the befuddlement.

WOW!! I remember going there in about 1980 - it is a fantastic place and well worth the hassle of adhering to a dress code. Enjoy a 'magic' occasion.
