I (now) know it's been commented upon previously, but those vertical striped hose are indeed quite something!

Definitely worth looking around that site. Thanks for the link.

Cheers!

I'm still waiting for some enterprising person to come up with a reasonable facsimilie of these particular hose. I love the black and grey, but grey and rifle/hunter green would be nice as well.

If only we could find an enterprising person.

In a previous thread, P/M Burgess's daughter (whose screen name i can;t remember) said that her mother, Mrs. Burgess, made the hose in the pictures.

I've got a trip to the yarn shop tomorrow. I'll see if they have any yarn in the aforementioned colors.

As I've pointed out before, those hose are in a pattern very similar to that of the regimental neckties of the Cameron Highlanders; too similar, in my opinion, to be coincidental.

(The green looks a bit too bluish in this particular photo.)
