Tartan hose

[Jack Daw]

The National Scot would match my MacIntyre Hunting Modern.

I have the Hunting Scott hose and wear them with both my Gordon Modern and my Davidson kilts. I'd wear them with Black Watch if I had BW.

Or you could get them properly custom made through this ebay vendor for around $150US;

A quick question for the rabble:

I've been sorely tempted to get (when circumstances permit) a pair of "tartan" argyle hose to go with my Mackenzie modern kilt:



While there seem to be several vendors (e.g., Kinloch Anderson) who will make "bespoke" tartan hose, the cost ($250!) is somewhat prohibitive.

I noticed that the Scottish Tartans Museum carries "full Argyle" Hawick hose in a limited range of tartans, for significantly less (although still not an insignificant sum).

I think that the "National Scot" (below, left) would certainly work well enough with the colors in the Mackenzie tartan...



... that I wonder if a pair of custom hose -- knit to specifically match the Mackenzie tartan -- could possibly justify the extra cost?

I go to skye highland outfitters for a $140 you get hand dyed and hand knit full Argyle 100% wool hose. I have 2 pairs and will be ordering a 3rd soon.

Yup, that is the ebay vendor I was talking about.
