You're right, the foldovers are pretty excessive!
They're Cheviot, and got in a Glasgow kilt shop, but they're longer than other Cheviot hose I've bought.
They're the first hose I've got in Cheviot's "Hebridean" range. Are they supposed to be like that?
I think I've told the story of purchasing a pair of Cheviot kilt hose at a California Highland Games, but when I got home I discovered that one was kilt hose length but the other one was shooting sock length! Luckily it was the Saturday of a two-day Games (we love those here) and I was able to exchange the hose for a normal pair on Sunday.
I do have a pair of ornate shooting socks I hardly ever wear, due to having to do a multi-fold thing.
