    Kilt Hose Deal?

    Picked up this link over on the IMFF board.

    http://www.wbrewin.co.uk/

    Don't know the outfit. They are offering kilt hose in cream, navy, black, lovat blue and lovat green in two sizes for 3.99 British Pounds a pair.

    They also have a "deal" for ten pairs for 29.99 British Pounds.

    Don't know the maker, they just say "one of the UK's leading manufacturers" They don't say they're seconds...but I wonder.

    They also claim that they are on hand and ready for immediate shipment.

    Anyone have any experience with these folks?

    W. Brewin & Co.

    Just sent a test order for four pair of kilt hose. They look good, so we'll see. I'll let you all know what I think when they arrive.

    That's a great deal Ron,

    I don't think I need 10 pairs, but even 4 pairs for £13.99 is a good deal. I have been looking to add some Lovat blue hose to the collection. I already have off-white, navy, bottle green, black, charcoal, and lovat green.

    Aye,

    Was the Cessna guy in Scotland that bought some, asked him to post here on how they worked.

    I need to replace my lovat blues too...shrank 'em somehow...

    Just REAL leary of "deals" with unnamed hose from ebay sellers...

    The wrapper on them looks like the hose that A Wee Bit of Scotland sells in Canada. If they are the same, they are fairly heavy and have thick seam at the toe. You might need larger shoes. They are comfy and warm though. His ebay seller id was outofglasgow, but I don't see anything listed today.

    Order with confidence

    Hi Ron,


    "Ho Kay...thanks! Off to check the balance on the plastic.."

    That's exactly my reaction when I read these type threads, the socks do sound as if they are well made and reasonable, so...
