    I bet all three would advise that a good pair of wool solid color hose would be a better option than cheaper acrylic diced hose.

    Or they would advocate saving for the "good stuff" as it is worth it.

    Honest feedback is not snobbery .
    Well said, Jamie. That is exactly the feeling behind my comments regarding my past experiences with the acrylic hose that Higgins offered.

    If others have had no problems with theirs, then bully for them! I'm glad to hear it -- I only wish my experience had been as good.

    As you say, offering a personal opinion as honest feedback is not snobbery.

    I'm sorry if Hector has taken offense to my honest feedback; there is simply no reason to do so. I will not judge him for what he buys in terms of Highland kit, but I do respect the same in return.

    Regards,

    Todd

    I was given a pr of J. Higgins diced hose last year. They seem to be reasonable quality for the price. The colours are a good match for my kilt. So far they have been worn once, to Burns Night. They will be worn again this year, for Burns Night. So far, no signs of "pilling".

    Most of the time I wear an acrylic/wool blend solid colour kilt hose. 100% wool is just too warm for most of the year around here.
