Argyll Hose

I like the shooting socks and a great price, too.

Well, not specifically kilt hose but Sock Dreams has hose that'll work at very reasonable prices. When my budget was tight I found many options there. Not great, mind you, but serviceable.

I'd like to echo MacMillan's Son's advice about other fancy hose. I just checked that Internet Auction Site and found several attractive options listed under SHOOTING SOCKS.

Isn't it amazing how any clothing with the word "kilt" attached to it is more expensive? I bought a pair of shooting sock, self-tie, garter ties recently for about $12 including shipping...

The diced hose from J. Higgins are decent for the price. I was gifted a pair and I think they will last quite some time, especially considering I might wear them once or twice per years.

Finally, as others have mentioned, keep your eyes open for eBay. My lass got me a pair of almost-new, Argyle hose for around $40 with shipping.

As a grad student, I understand being on a budget. I would love being able to afford custom knit hose but that is just a dream for me right now. Until then, I'll have to keep digging for bargains!
