    I fold and store mine just like sailortats demonstrated in his photo. I also fold my woolen garter ties and neatly lay them in there next to my hose. I keep small blocks of cedar in there with them to ward off moths.

    My band PM had suggested laying on one top of the other and rolling them. If store in this manner, the roll usually lived in the small duffel bag that was my band "kit" bag; I tended to keep all of my band stuff together in there so I always knew where suspenders/hose/balmoral/tie/etc. were.

    But frankly, since I don't really have multiple pairs, my dance hose and sometimes my band hose hang over the top of the kilt hanger with the appropriate kilt. This could, of course, be done with a couple pairs as well.

    Mine are in a pile with the garter ties, I can't believe how organized some of you are, or how unorganized I am.

    Quality, costs,and care ,

    Some might think being particular about storing kilt hose is not quite as important as storing other items of Kilt attire. Almost all of my Kilt hose are from House of Cheviot and as such with the exchange rate between the Canadian Dollar and the British pound I have a considerable investment in what some might consider ......just socks
    I spent more on ONE pair of HoC Lewis hose than I did having a favourite sports coat converted into a kilt jacket......but both give me huge pleasure so i consider it money well spent.......I have always believed quality is worth spending extra on and worth waiting for until it can be afforded

    Much to the dismay of my US Navy father, I have never had much of a habit of keeping clothes properly folded and stored.

    No issues with hanging things though.

    roll them and stand them, like cans, beside each other in a drawer
