    Aye Derek, looking forward to the transistion to "color" hose and the results proven by photos....

    As a poor man myself, I'm looking for any to donate to my good home, a Hand me down Balmoral, Sporran and Kilt pin and I'll be posting a photo or two myself to try to catch up with the rest of the Rabble....

    Somebody, sometime in the long life of this thread, Derek, will offer suggestions on how to bleach out the colour and return your new hose to their original ecru. Don't do it! The new you

    Derek, that's a good hose/kilt combination. I like that look.
    I also like the Woolly Pully with it.

    Well Done! I also have several pairs of these type of long wool or wool-blend military/hiking/"outdoor life" hose. They can indeed often be found at very attractive prices (especially if they are military surplus, liquidated retail overstock, etc.). Mine are also ribbed, in basic solid colors (dark blue, black, brown and olive green), heathery earth-tones, or Ragg wool shades, and I mostly wear them with my solid color (black, brown, olive) cargo-pocketed "utility" casual kilts and matching or complimenting pull-overs and/or tweed kilt jackets and fringed knitted-wool breeks hose or complimenting muted or ancient tartan pattern flashes. They're perfect for casual, weekend "town and country" kilt wear, hiking, golf, etc.
    Best Regards,

    I do like those brown ones Derek. I'd pay 7 quid for those alone, can't wait to see the other ones on you. Cheers
