    It's the same guy that supplies Scotweb but you get them for a fraction of the price.

    Do you want his details?
    Yes Please!

    Ok... for everyone.
    Here's the details:

    Mr. Dennis Henderson
    Henderson Highland Hose
    9 Lovain Terrace
    Berwick Upon Tweed
    Northumberland
    England
    TD15 1LA

    Tel/Fax (01289) 302831
    International (+441289) 302831

    He only takes cheque and he doesnt have an email address. So it may be lengthy for those overseas wanting hose in a hurry.

    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    I have been researching tartan argyll hose for nearly a year and pricing, quality, turnaround, etc.. in that regards. The only off the rack ones I could find on sale were at house of tartan which had limited styles and sizes on sale, none of which met my needs. The Henderson connection above seems like a reasonable alternative, if you can truly work directly with the manufacturer to keep the price reasonable. may have to look into that for future orders.

    The best deal I ahve found otherwise is Keltoi Gaelic Clothing (one of our xmarks sponsors) , who has a nice variety of custom made hose at a reasonable price including custom argylls and diced hose, and between the 10% discount John offers and the US-Canadian dollar exchange rate (fluctuating right now) they can be had for a reasonable price. I ordered a pair of custom in my Forrester Modern tartan argyll, and John even ordered a swatch of the tartan from STrathmore Mills so he could match the colors properly to my kilt. I also ordered a pair of ancient blue/ancient green diced hose to be custom made to match my Ancient Douglas kilt. And since I simultaneously ordered a Kingussie kilt in Ancient Caledonia, and the total exceeded a certain amount, shipping is free too. Now just jonesing away in eager anticipation and wondering where on John's list I stand for my kilt.

    Will obviously post pics of all hose and kilts when they arrive.
