Big Mikeys killah Hose Tops
I grabbed a few shot of the two pair of Big Mikeys hose tops that I bought recently. I like 'em! I was a bit concerned with the bulk, as folks might remember from a post I'd made about a month ago, so Mikey sent me both a "regular" pair and a "lightweight" pair. So now he's diversified, and I think you can probably order whichever you like. If you have *Big* calves, get the "regulars". If you have more normal sized calves, get the "reduced" set.
I told Big Mikey that I wanted to match my X Marks kilt, and sent him a picture of the socks these were going to go over. As you can see, I'm slowly diversifying my choice beyond just white socks...though I still have two pairs of white ones...*ahem!* I used to have some black socks and I just hate them. I do NOT like the look of black kilt hose on myself, but I found this dark gray pair at a vendor at Enumclaw, and thought I'd take a chance on 'em.
Anyway, here are some close-ups, shot with zoom, inside, in a mirror. I'll send along some head-to-toe pics, taken outside, soon.

I think Big Mikey's hose tops really set off the hose and the kilt. I wear my pair with my Flower of Scotland kilt by default.

By the by Alan, I think charcoal grey hose go extremely well with the XMTS tartan

That was my thinking, when I bought them. I'd actually hoped for a lighter gray, but when I saw them, I thought they'd do well with the X Marks tartan...what's $25? So I handed over the MC. They were purchased at the Black Knights favorite kilt outlet!

Looks good Alan. I agree with Jamie. The dark gray hose and those tops makes a great combination with the XMTS tartan.

They look good to me, and they seem to set off the tartan perfectly.

They look great!
I'll need to get a pair when I get some money together!
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
