    Firstly, thank you all for your kind comments and remarks concerning my company, I try my best to please.

    Secondly I must comment on the issue of height and hose length, I am 6'1" tall, my first choice of hose is always the "Bowmores" as has been said, they are Country Socks with a huge cuff warranting 3 folds to get it sitting right, the folds form an M shape, but once done they look the business, another hose that's generous in length is House of Cheviots Tiree range, I don't at the moment hold any in stock, but can easily get them in a range of colours.
    The Argyle Tops hose are my next choice, others have had issues with the cuffs, but being as tall as I am I have no bother with them, I find House of Cheviot hose wear well, are easily cared for, the wee wifee just chucks them in the washing machine on a 30 degree wash and they come out as good as new everytime.

    Sorry for the late reply. I got it from a store here in Japan called TK. I'm not sure how wide spread it is but in such a globalised world I wouldn't be surprised.

    Chris, I have found the argyll tops a little awkward because they are too big to fold once but too small to do the m like on the bowmores. As I have said I just have to take the time to fiddle and they come good. I will try to post a photo of me wearing them. I should have one.

    Cheers

    Not with trick or treating but that was a day that they had a couple stalls for the kids and activities for them to do. It is internationalisation at its best. I think I was the scariest one there. hehe
