Ah, well; hose tops are the uppers that allow your leg to be warm but not have feet.

You can search the term on ebay. Check out these:

Sorry the latter two have no pictures but I can assure you I got the last one - cheap, wool, khaki and I love them. WPG stuff is good.

I have a pair and have worn them numerous times. I will get more when these wear out.
