Skye Highland Outfitters Custom Hose Query

[creagdhubh]

Greetings all,

I am curious if any of you have purchased custom diced, castellated, or tartan Argyll kilt hose from Skye Highland Outfitters out of California? If so, could you please be so kind to post any photos/personal review that you may have showing your custom hose? I am considering ordering several pairs from this company, yet would like to read customer reviews, if any, first. Thank you all for your assistance and time with this matter.

Slainte mhath,

A cold day, last month, for a St. Andrew Society meeting! Was that a snowflake that just went down the back of my shirt?! HA!

I'm one happy customer.

I was also in on the XMTS tartan hose order: pix are here. The service was exemplary, and it was a lot of fun to "jones" together and rejoice as we got our packages.

The hose are gorgeous, as you can tell from the assorted pictures. The yarn is custom-dyed to match the tartan, and someone was so perfectionist that there were separate yarns dyed for the wool and the poly-viscose fabric. In the post I cite above, you'll see mine with the PV fabric, and then with the Edzell tartan since I (still) haven't made the matching kilt.

Josh told us up front that the feel of the socks is a bit "wooly," but with washing they will soften. Mine have only been washed about 3 times, and I believe the prickle-factor is diminishing. My feet love wool, so your mileage may vary; but some fabric softener or conditioning rinse may be indicated. That's the only caveat I can think to tell you. I believe that everyone who has reported in on Skye's hose has been more than pleased. I plan to be a repeat customer.

This is very detailed IMHO-

I can't get to their 'hose' page on their site. How much is a set and what's the typical turnaround.

I keep a "Store News and Updates" box on the home page with approximate finish times. Its best to check with that before you order.

I own a pair of their diced hose, and I hope to order a second pair this summer. I highly recommend them!

Ah, the original Tap Room! I was just there last month!

I own 4 pairs and they are extremely well made custon socks. Make sure you give him a sample of your tartan so that they match perfectly...
