Fraser Ross catalogue 1920s

[Tobus]

Excellent find Richrail! And very good pricepoint. Thanks! I will be ordering some.

Just my luck, they only have one size, and (as usual) it's too large for me.

Be advised that shooting socks tend to be longer than proper kilt hose. I believe they're intended to be worn all the way up to the bottom of the knee, instead of being shy of the knee by a few finger widths like kilt hose. If you have longer shins than most people, it may not be an issue. But I seem to recall that some people in the past have encountered trouble with making shooting socks work as kilt hose. I have not personally done it, though, so I can't state that with certainty.

That's a good point. Thanks! I have a pair of diced top house of cheviot that in afraid are shooting socks. I have to fold over under the actual cuff to shorten it and I end up with a thicker cuff. Im 5'10", so pretty average shin length.
