2) Boots (which look heavy) worn with pulled-up hose just do not look right. So when wearing boots, I always roll the hose down. This also gives the appearance of thickening the calves and making our legs look more sturdy.

Ham,

You say "rolled down," but when I look at your pictures I think I would call that "folded down." Rolled down, in my understanding, would result in a thick round roll at the bottom (like rolling up a cigarette, maybe). But your pics show a thinker fold(?) of hose above the boot. Am I making sense? Can you comment, please.

Certainly, Kevin! Yes, rolled down or folded down (I have never actually thought of 'folding' my hose down, but maybe that is what I do!). In some of my earlier photos, those of about four years ago, you might notice that I just pushed the hose down. Over the years, and looking at my own photos, I came to the conclusion that pushed down hose just looks slovenly, not the image I ever wish to portray nowadays, so I fold them down instead.
