true tartan hose (not diced+lines)

[artificer]

Very interesting question, OCR. and cool eBay find.

Here they are, in the 1860s:



BTW I looked through a handful of vintage Highland Dress catalogues from the 1920s through 1950s and all the "tartan" hose they show are the familiar diced+single lines type.

This is a bit off-topic, but has ANYONE seen a modern re-creation of the positively stunning stag's head hose on the right in the above image?

I know RockyR was looking for a set several months back. I wonder if he found any?
