Through some other postings and PMs about various threads I came to get to know the forum regular known as Redshank, whose real name is Chris. We were discussing some tartan top hose I had found on Ebay when Chris told me that he was the ebay vendor for those auctions, and that he was hoping to be able to sell the same or similar hose to forum members at even better prices than on ebay, since he could discount them more because he did not have to pay ebay fees. He pointed me toward his new website,
http://dunaddtradingcompany.co.uk/default.aspx , where I found listed all four of Hawick Hose/House of Cheviot tartan top hose in Ancient Scot, Royal Scot, Hunting Scot, and National Scot, at better prices than I had found anywhere else on the internet, with free shipping, even to the states. So I bought a pair of the Ancient Scot to wear with my Ancient MacDonald and Ancient Douglas kilts. They came a couple days ago and I love them. They are nicely colored but not overwhelming, match nicely to the ancient colors of my kilts, are substantially well built, comfortable, all wool and in my opinion very attractive. I know others on the forum have similar hose in the other colors who have similar opinions. What amazed me was Chris's prices which as I said include shipping, and his quick and easy ordering system and rapid order turnaround time. I got mine from Scotland in under a week, as he put them in the shippers hand the very next day after I ordered. Chris has been very easy to deal with and I have no reservations about ordering more from him. As a matter of fact I already have, as Chris has access to many of the Hawick/House of Cheviot varieties.
HoC Ancient Scot tartan tops with lovat green bodies and ancient blue/lovat green tops and black over checks, front view.
Rear view.
For those who have not tried them House of Cheviot/Hawick Hose are very high quality and very substantial, probably the best mass produced kilt hose and shooting socks made in the UK, right in the Borderlands. And they have great variety in colors and fancy tops among their many other styles.
If you are in the market for some nice hose at great prices check out Chris's website, or PM him at his forum name Redshank. I know I will keep an eye on his website in anticipation of him adding more varieties of these great hose to his stock list.
