    The walnut is more like a heathered brown, and the natural is ...natural. The sun brightend the natural a lot; it looks a bit darker in person.


    As I recall, they had it in the mail the next day.

    BTW, they have free first class shipping, so what you buy is all you pay. How cool is that!

    Sierra Trading Post has knocked the price down another notch, to $3.55, so if you want those you better move soon; they're probably trying to clear them out.

    I just ordered five pair, 3 olive and 1 each gold and cinnamon. I got more olive because they work best with my walking outfit as I have a sweater that matches them. You sure can't beat the price.

    I'll have to check out the other site as well.

    Hey, my box of sox just arrived today. I ordered eight pair. Four green, two each gold and cinammon. ( I work long hours and one of life's luxuries for me is changing my sox at lunch hour so need two pairs).

    The tag said "Slightly Imperfect" rather than "seconds." Haven't found any dings yet.

    Green is darker than I'd thought from the website, still okay, sort of a dark Army Green.

    The gold is like an old gold. Think it picks up the gold from my L.L. Bean West Point tartan shirt well, gonna try them with black kilts

    The cinammon is dark too, thought it'd work with my caramel UK workman's and it sorta does...gotta fiddle with that more.

    And YES they are long. Nice. Bottom line, after looking a gift horse in the mouth for some time I risked ordering and wound up with about $200 worth of kilt hose for $40.

    More on the Cinnamon

    Just took the Cinnamon hose around to my kilts. They actually go well with my basil UK survival, desert MARPAT PK, desert camo Freedom Kilt, and Forest AmeriKilt.

    Much more versatile than I'd thought.

    Mine were marked the same way. Haven't found any slight imperfections on mine either.

    Obviously, the secret to getting a good deal on 'kilt hose' is to buy 'long socks' and wear 'em with a kilt!

    Yeah, they're a great deal. I've ordered some and I don't even know what I'm going to do with the cinnamon ones yet!!

    Did the same thing

    Six pairs of kilt hose for $27 shipped to my door can't beat that. with the cold weather coming the soccer (football for those across the pond) socks aren't really cutting it.

    For those that already received theirs how long did they take to arrive?

    Thanks for the recommendation and all the assistance.
