    Custom diced hose

    Two years ago, I ordered custom fit wool red/green diced hose from USA Kilts. I have been alternating them with a cheaper pair purchased new elsewhere. After two years, the cheaper ones are totally scrap and the ones from USA Kilts look like they just came out of the box.

    I have aver short legs so off-the-rack hose are usually too long. These ones fit perfectly. As a frequent kilt wearer, I must say that quality is important. These diced hose have proved that many times over. For the price, they are worth every penny.

    I would also like to thank the staff for their attention to detail in ensuring a proper colour match and for their quick service. Well done.

    Those hose look great, and so does your entire outfit. What kind of jacket is that? I recognize the epaulettes and the cuffs, but that's about it. Is it a military style? Thanks for posting.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    That is (if I'm not mistaken) a Military (Mess Dress) jacket. I always like Mess Dress.

    Yes, a military mess jacket and matching tartan vest from Burnett's and Struth, Strathmore 8 yd heavy kilt, badger sporran, dirk, diced hose from USA kilts and ghillie brogues. That's about as formal as I am willing to go at this point. And thanks for the compliments.

    I will join the others and say the entire outfit is wonderful. I have a pair of custom diced hose that I ordered from The Scottish Tartan Museum, I believe they are from the same supplier, however I may be wrong. Are they an extravagance? Certainly, however they really do bring your outfit to the next level.

    I agree wholeheartedly. Custom diced hose ARE extravagant, and they are totally worth it.

    The diced hose are nice, but that jacket is awesome.
