When I was younger mine was much longer, dark and thickly curled:

...with my son on his 3rd b-day -- I was 24 (my temples were greying & hidden by a mass of curls)

Okay, thread hijack over

I've looked at hose like these before: Penrith Basketweave Shooting Sock - Regal Red
, but my question is I wear Macdonell of Keppoch in Ancient colours (orangish-red w/lovat greens & blues). Would these hose go w/ something like that, or should I really care?
That's a question that I'm considering too w/ the bright red of the OP's "Santa" hose & my kilt's colours. Matt? Anyone?

Some people wouldn't care, but me personally, I would not wear bright red hose with an orange-toned kilt. To my eye, though, the red in the hose you just linked too looks more orange to me, so it would probably look fine.

For what it's worth, the Rannoch hose offered by the STM gift shop come in a nice, warm orange color.

I wish Santa would just bring me a pair.
Oh wait a minit I am Santa. I think I'll just hop into the sleigh and run down there and grab a pair.

Merry Christmas Everyone

Great idea Matty.

Santa Kona, I can't wait to see the pics you post when you get them (hint, hint)!

Well the hose arrived today and they are a very good Red. Best of all after I send them a e-mail asking about the heavy shipping charges they reduced the shipping by 35 pounds.

Well done. Still an excessive charge even with the refund though
