I've seen all sorts of hose threads recently... Unfortunately all they've done is confused me to pieces. I'm going try asking this very specifically in hopes that it will clear things up for me.

Here's the guidelines for responses that I'm after:

Let's just say that I were going to strand you on a desert island for 6 months (not a tropical one) lol with only 3 of your favourite kilts. Then, let's say that I allowed you to bring 2 pairs of hose per kilt. (That's a total of 6 pairs oh hose for those of you who failed math in school).

1. Which hose would you consider to be "essential" enough to take with you?

2. Where would you buy them? (Budget-wise, assume you're so tight you squeak! So no $50/pair ideas please... Also, choose just 1 retailer so as to consolidate shipping costs)


Why am I asking this? I need to buy some hose but I'm on a very strict budget. I'd like to have at least a couple pairs that I can use with each of my kilts. Being able to mix & match is a good thing, although I COULD deal with having a couple pairs that go with one specific tartan or outfit...
