18 hour Gaelic hose & RMWK T-shirt.
I had ordered some oatmeal colored hose adn a RMWK t-shirt from USA kilts. The order arrived promptly and the hose and shirt were in good shape.
The XXXL T-shirt was from a manufacturer I did not recognize and appeared to be a quality item. I washed it and hung it out to dry in the sun.
The exposed seams in the shoulder and collar are stout and very neatly done. The ribbed collar is a quality touch. For a 3x at less than $20.00 it was better than I expected.
The hose far exceeded my expectations (based on price) upon initial inspection. My right leg is a bit mangled and swells up everyday. My calves measure 21 inches to start with. That right one gets huge by days end. Very impressive that reasonably priced hose even fit.
I put them on today at 0450 and headed to work in a kilt like object of my own crafting. After work it was a family bbq for a graduation in my U.K. still wearing the hose.
The family is a large one and BBQs' are serious business. There is alot of walking around meeting and greeting, carrying chairs here and fro to accomodate the lassies, table folding, horseshoes, beer and soda cases tossed about.. you get the idea.
They stayed up well without garters or flashes. Now 2125 in the P.M. 'round here, they are still presentable. But decorum demands a trip to the washer.
I feel impelled to point out that cheap men's hose, baseball socks, medical tack, ace bandages, long socks, Law enforcement gear worn on the lower leg, all seem to inch down my lower legs with haste. I am impressed. We shall see how they hold up to cycles of wash and wear.
Your mileage may vary, but the hose so far are very non-irritating to the many scars on my bad leg.
My first impression here is a good one. I have to say I have gotten less value for my money and been happy with it. So far USA kilts is right on. I will be ordering again.
