    Most certainly. You can get Original Hose Toppers made exactly as you wish. They can be made to compliment your shirt, kilt, hose or any other accessory you might wear. The colours may not be exact but they would definitely be to your liking. Of course, I speak only for the products I produce but I'm sure Sydney would agree.

    My promise to you is that we will work together to get just the look you want, guaranteed. Thanks for your interest.

    Something akin to this idea has been used by pipe bands for at least a decade.

    It's because in the 1990's the vast majority of pipe bands the world over began wearing the dreaded stark white "popcorn" hose, or "bobble top" hose.

    The hose body was plain knit, but the turnover cuff portion was extremely thick in "popcorn" knit pattern etc.

    These hose being rather expensive, what came on the market were the heavy knit tops, which could be worn with inexpensive ordinary plain hose.

    These bobble tops have an elastic cord at the top and the bottom and they stay in place pretty well, anchoring themselves upon the cuff of the plain hose beneath.

    I occasionally do things a bit differently and wear my stark white bobble tops with blue hose etc.
