The Duke's Hose
In the interests of completeness, and in response to those who have enquired as to where one might obtain their own version of the Duke's most excellent hose, I believe the source of at least some of his hose is Wendy Keith Designs http://www.wendykeithdesigns.co.uk/tradition-c4.html
That company holds a Royal Warrant from the Duke as regards the supply of hose, and several of the posted photos of the Duke appear to feature them. By posting this, I mean no disrespect to Matt Newsome, from whom I have just ordered hose, or the almostunwearoutable outfit, or any others suggested--I'm sure they can all fulfill your requirements. Cheers!
"Before two notes of the theme were played, Colin knew it was Patrick Mor MacCrimmon's 'Lament for the Children'...Sad seven times--ah, Patrick MacCrimmon of the seven dead sons....'It's a hard tune, that', said old Angus. Hard on the piper; hard on them all; hard on the world." Butcher's Broom, by Neil Gunn, 1994 Walker & Co, NY, p. 397-8.
