Hey

Where do you get those blue argyll hose?

Someone I know is looking for some kilt hose tops for his pipe band, and needs blue.

Hi Fr. John

If you look carefully at the first photo, you'll see that the setts of the two pairs of hose are different from one another. That's because they were each custom knit to match the tartan. We ordered them directly from Kilkeel in Northern Ireland, and you just send them a swatch of tartan plus measurements and they match the tartan when they knit the hose. They even use the same thread that Dalgliesh uses to weave the tartan, so the color match is perfect. Not cheap, however. Last pair we ordered was $120. The dancers take _really_ good care of them!!

There's also a company in the UK called Henderson Highland Hose that knits custom-made hose for dancers.
