Well, I gave a call to the good folks at Hamilton yesterday afternoon (silly me, making personal calls on the clock) and placed an order for $20/3 pair of their kilt socks. They are an amazing bargain, so if it works out I'll have three for less than I would pay otherwise. If not, I'll just pass them on to someone here that they will actually fit and try out some piper hose. Thanks for all the help, guys! I don't mean to be picky- it's just difficult to find hose long enough for such (apparently) long calfs while still being able to get a good roll.
