Custom Kilt Hose from piperdbh

[A Hay]

One of the great pleasures of this forum, in my opinion, is getting to know the artist and artisans who have so much to share of their skills and talents.

Today I would like to showcase the work of our piperdbh who created the custom kilt hose below. The quality and workmanship is excellent. I exchanged a custom sporran with a design he chose for these. He sent me samples of the thread and I selected the colors that seemed to go best with the Hay Modern Tartan shown in the pictures.

Without further ado, let me show you what he created:






I'm thinking traditional garter ties in gold would be the best option. For today I just used my standard elastic red ones. The hose have not been washed yet either, so they are a little baggy arounf the foot and ankle, but that will change.

Look at how detailed the work is around the transition from leg to foot!

I'm very impressed by David's work and look forward to wearing these hose on special occasions.

Thanks piperdbh!
