Hose?

[orangehaggis]

Along with the Bermuda shorts already mentioned, I'm quite used to wearing "shooting" or "walking" socks with short trousers. I -personally speaking, here- wouldn't wear anything other than hose pulled up with the kilt. Wool is a breathable fibre, so it will keep you cool, to a degree, in warmer weather. In very hot weather, if you don't want to wear short socks or scrunched down kilt hose, why not get some cotton hose?

It's too hot for hose down here in the summer: partly a shoe problem. Especially in July... Guess it's a little different out here. Maybe a little more like the Middle East or something.

In hot weather I wear regular Smartwool hiking socks scrunched down. I find that tall hose is the worst culprit to being overly hot in my kilt. A wide leather belt is another heat culprit. The kilt itself is quite comfortable in hot weather due to the ample *ahem* venting underneath.

The day in the summer of 2006 when Matt Newsome measured me for my Kilt, he was wearing sandals and a t-shirt with his kilt. I think it was early July and about 90-95 degrees that day. I think the 21st century will bring about all new acceptable ways to wear a kilt so that a kilt can be worn on a daily basis.

Hmmmm! Matt Newsome was wearing sandals with a kilt...

I don't feel like an earthworm anymore! Na, I have pictures up in the gallery of me wearing sandals with a kilt. I tend to wear them with my canvas kilt and not the tartan kilts. I like the slides or the nicer leather sandals.

Oh, and it's usually 115 to 120 degrees and some what humid around that time of the year out here.

In the summer (which out here lasts from May to November), I usually wear flip-flops, an aloha shirt, and my SportKilt, along with my big coconut tree leaf hat from Hawai'i.

No hard and fast rules, however, I have found the following site which may be of interest in so much it provides a take on the formal hose we all wear. You might like to take a look!
