Barbour kilt hose (gun socks)

[macwilkin]

I have indeed tried Barbour socks, and many other barbour items, and I can vouch for them being top notch items. The barbour factory is just a small distance from my parents place and my childhood home.

Barbour is an expensive brand, but its target customer are farmers, game keepers, country folk in general and its made for working people. Its good quality, if nothing else.

You live...that close...to the Barbour factory?

I'll second everything you said about Barbour products. My Barbour wax jacket is the best jacket I have ever owned, bar none.

Barbour may be expensive, but their items will last for a lifetime -- and that is the true definition of frugal; buy the best so you won't have to keep replacing the shoddy stuff!

$35 for a pair of socks is very reasonable, and Barbour is good quality -- why on earth would anyone compare this to...shudder...tube socks?
