    Paul, thanks for thinking of me !!

    I am having great difficulty in finding some yellow hose - are you able to give me full details of where you saw them. Thanks.

    It was at a stall in Sloane's Market around a month ago. The woman told me she's never sold a pair of yellow hose so it was good that she only has one pair.
    I was there around 2 weeks ago for some black hose and there were no yellow hose out on the stall. She told me a young lady had bought them to wear with her boots 2 minutes before I was there!

    I found some on sites.
    here's some with a plain cuff:

    Brighter yellow with a detailed cuff:

    I really like the second pair. When I get a kilt with a yellow stripe (which I should be soon) I'll definitely be buying a pair!
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    No problem Hamish. Also check out this site:

    I'm buying a pair of hose and a set of 4 pairs of gartars off there. All seems a very good deal.
