Tartan socks.

Holy moly! $100.00 for socks, my wife would kill me... how about PV or cotton wool blend!

The blend hose that Higgins sells was the ones I was referring to in my previous post; in other words, you get what you pay for. My DW would much rather that I buy quality items so I don't have to keep replacing them! That is the true definition of "frugal"!

Scoutniagra: would your sister-in-law like to adopt another brother-in-law. My brother is married, but I'm a really nice guy. Heck, she can just adopt me as her step-son as long as she knits argyle hose.

Brother Beuth--you can see why we don't wear argyle hose.

BTW, Beuth, to return to the other part of your question

I think a minitartan is a "tartan" with fewer thread counts which produces a similar pattern with fewer threads per color.

But I like McMurdo's mini tartan better.

I wouldn't spend the money on tartan hose and always opt for self colour hose, or even rugby socks for casual wear.

Yes I can certainly see why few wear them. I am not saying that they're not worth the money, just that I do not place them that high on my priority list. Maybe one day, but first, I have got to get my Fraser red!

I'm with you1 I like McMurdos minikilt as well!

Her name is Suzie, and she is my sister in law.

Once you own a pair, you'll see why those of us who wear them prefer them for formal attire.

I would never advise a novice kiltie to buy a pair right away, but they certainly make a striking statement and add a bit of panache to the kit.
