Puzzle of the Brown Kilt Hose

[Bugbear]

Well, I didn't expect this to happen, but the
dark brown, over-the-knee, wool stockings from Jas. Townsend and Son, Inc., came in the mail today. The problem is that I have my mail sent to a post office box for several important reasons, and I don't recieve mail or packages at my home.

So, the person who helps me deal with the mail picked up the stockings today, but it happens that I won't be able to get over and pick them up until next weekend. I just was not expecting them to show up as fast as a Stillwater kilt. It looks like it was about two days shipping time at the most because I ordered them on the evening of the fifteenth and they were at the post office today the eighteenth.

I can give a few details because I had the person with the package inspect them.

The person has seen kilt hose before and says they are good and thick. There is a very small ribbed patern to them, but not like some of the kilt hose, and no difference at the part that would be turned down. They are also very dark brown as in coffee brown. Sounds good so far.

I'll have to see how they feel and fit to give my full review, but the shipping turned out to be very speedy. I'm happy that they are in fact thick and very dark brown.
