    Tartan Hose

    So I pulled the trigger and ordered some tartan hose in MacDonald of Clanranald modern tartan from John at Keltoi. I have the J. Higgins red and green diced hose, but I wanted something a little more durable and have always been fond of full tartan hose. I ordered them in early February and he said they take somewhere around two months, so I'm officially in full Jones mode.

    I'll post pics when they arrive. I'm really looking forward to them and I'm confident that they will be splendid!

    Good choice; I have a pair from John and they're the best I've ever encountered.

    Apparently great minds do think alike. I have a pair that I got from John as well. While they take time to be produced, they are worth the wait.

    I received my bespoke tartan hose from Keltoi today and am very pleased with the purchase. John was professional and courteous and demonstrated exemplary customer service when called upon to do so.

    The quality is very high and I’m quite happy with the look. What do you think?
