New Kilt hose ordered!

[fhpdo]

If you don't mind me asking ...what was the price on the ones you ordered? I too have big calves (19 to 20 inches) and need some kilt hose options. Also if you have found others that fit lease let me know where you found them.
Thanks

The 8 plys were 40 pounds, so yes I will be trim'n my nails before I put them on. But, I paid 20 pounds for hand knits that didn't fit. So I think it's worth it for a nice pair. I did have one nice set of hand knits that fit pretty good until they got tossed in the dryer by mistake.

Everything else seems too tight. I asked them how tight they were in the calves and she said to give her the size I needed and they'd custom knit them to my calves. Can't get better than that, so to me it's worth the price.

$70 for a pair of socks?

I said they were pricey

They are double spun wool and custom knit, plus they said they should last about 20 years. So given that, I can afford to have ONE pair ;) I'll just be happy to have a pair that don't make my feet turn blue.

Sounds sensible to me. One of the things my old man taught me: "Never compromise on footwear and tyres (tires)"
