    Highland hose vs country hose

    The difference between the two?
    I know the country hose AKA shooting socks are a little bit longer, but what else?

    I believe it's like the difference between manure and fertilizer... Much depends on whether one is buying or selling. And how long your legs are...

    I've had a recommendation to buy country hose since my legs are pretty long, and the difference was explained as exactly that: length.

    the reason I asked is that I found some hoses on ebay and they werea good deal (still are)
    I did a search with Tiree and I found a vendor (House of Labhran)that has a few House of Cheviot hoses for sale.

    They are not expensive and most come with the option Make an Offer
    (they were quite quick to take my offer, I think I should've offered less...)

    If any are interested, go take a look
