    Hose from USA Kilts

    Has anyone bought hose from USA Kilts?
    The description calls them "wool rich" so I was wondering what the actual percentage was? Also, anyone know where they were made?
    I'm looking to get several small accessories from the same place and I couldn't find any mention of their hose here. The wrap around the hose in the picture seems familiar, but I couldn't think of a company name.

    Incidentally, I like my gaelic themes that I bought at USAK. Don't know any specifics, but they fit nice and comfortable and seem to wash well.

    The Gaelic Themes hose that USA Kilts sells are 70% Wool, and 30% Nylon. I have several pair and would highly recommend them.

    Brian has the specs for the hose correct... 70% wool, 30% nylon (to help maintain shape). Here's a pic of the different colors close up:

    USAK is the only place I go for hose. Good quality, good price, good service.

    That'll be my usual discount Rocky!

    I wear a shoe size 9, but have developed calves from running. Is there sufficient 'give' in these, or should I order a larger size? It's a constant source of aggravation finding something that fits my feet and calves.

    Thanks bunches for the assistance.

    I own several pair of hose from USAK (both the cream and the colored) and I am very pleased with them. They're super comfy and easy to care for.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
