Heavyweight hose

[Oilverland]

Could the OP post 2 photos of these hose, one with the tops folded over as worn, the other laid out fully un-folded, so their structure can be seen?

I've been playing in pipe bands 40 years and I've probably seen (and worn) every sort of hose there is, but I can't tell from verbal description what sort of hose you're referring to.

Once I know what sort of hose they are, I might be able to suggest where to get them nowadays (if indeed they're still made).

Well I have not purchased any, at least not so far. Best I can do is refer you to the pictures in the Web page that's selling them https://www.sweaterchalet.com/dachst...4-adult-socks/

Or, maybe you mean the socks I have, that I got from my brother in law? I could attempt photos of them. They could be over 40 years old, about the time frame when he was competing in the pipe and drum band.

Also, another solution that occurred to me more recently: I use boot socks under my cowboy boots (the boots I wear with jeans, mind you, not a kilt). Boot socks aren't very thick, so they are good for wearing under kilt hose.
