Hi to all,

I somehow never heard of the Shetland and Orkney styles of hose until Matt Newsome put up this post to clear out his last pairs

After emailing vendors everywhere trying to find any remaining stock (none!) I've been in touch with Matt and learned that while the House of Cheviot has discontinued these styles from their catalog, they will still make them as special orders, subject to a minimum of three pair for each size / color combination. The possibilities can be seen here:

Cost turns out to be $80 per pair plus postage.

For myself, I'd like to get the Shetland in the Highfell, Scotspine and Autumn colors plus the Orkney in bison and tartan green, size large. If there is enough interest I'll be happy to coordinate a group purchase. This would be for orders from North America since it will be placed through Matt. If there turns out to be interest from other parts of the world I'm not sure at the moment how to handle it but no doubt we can find out.

If anyone else is interested, please reply with style, size, color and quantity.
