    The wrapper on them looks like the hose that A Wee Bit of Scotland sells in Canada. If they are the same, they are fairly heavy and have thick seam at the toe. You might need larger shoes. They are comfy and warm though. His ebay seller id was outofglasgow, but I don't see anything listed today.

    Hi Ron,


    "Ho Kay...thanks! Off to check the balance on the plastic.."

    That's exactly my reaction when I read these type threads, the socks do sound as if they are well made and reasonable, so...

    Thumbs up Kilt hose arrived

    My four pair of kilt hose (for about $20) arrived yesterday from W. Brewin & Co. and I'm wearing one pair today. The are a little less thick and not as long as some others I've bought, but seem well made and comfortable. They came quickly, but airmail and the shipping was only about $10.

    So far, I'd say a very good source.

    I have just sent my second e-mail to inquire where my kilthose are, the first e-mail was not answered.
    The companys claim was that they had sent my order on 03-28-06, does Royal Post take this long?I have ordered and received kilt jackets in less than three weeks. Has anyone had any problem with orders from these folks? Or were the deliveries on time? ( I know "on time" is relative but I had to ask).

    Thanks,

    Chris.

    Hmmm.

    Just had a package from Kiltstore in Scotland via Royal Mail to my remote town in Arizona, mailed on 5/2, received on 5/8. Six days.

    Don't know anywhere with slower mail service than my little town. So, maybe something went astray.

    I ordered the four-pack of this a while back. Ended up taking something a bit over two weeks to get here, almost three in total. *shrug* Royal mail for ya. Judging by the postal stamps on it, the hold-up was in the UK, not on the trans-Atlantic part, or the customs here in the US. But...

    The hose are fantastic. Comfy, hold up well even without flashes, and look great. Especially considering the price, they're a real bargain. I will most definitely be ordering more from them, sooner or later.
