New Argyll Hose!

**A Hay** · 17th October 09, 01:48 PM

Friday I received a package from Skye Highland Outfitters that contained 4 color Argyll hose.

I sent Josh (NorCalPiper) a small swatch of the Hay Modern Tartan and the color match was right on.

Judge for yourself:

Here are the hose laid across the Hay Tartan.

Here are the hose by themselves.

Here are the hose as I wore them to a farewell on Friday evening. More about that in a moment.

Finally, a closer look.

Thanks Josh. They are great!

In an earlier post I mentioned that I was relocating from Grafenwoehr, Germany to Garmisch, Germany. I started there last Tuesday. It will be a challenging assignment as I can see already. Very pretty though. The Zugspitze (Highest mountain in Germany) has had about a meter of snow.

I came back up to Grafenwoehr on Friday to do some clearing and to attend as Guest of Honor, with my wife, a Farewell Party at a local Guesthaus. I was kilted as usual and in addition wore the new hose.
I was over dressed for the occasion, most folks were casual. But that's OK, they have come to expect to see me in a kilt and several told me that they would have been disappointed if I had not worn one. My wife wore here kilted skirt in the Princess Diana Memorial Tartan. A very nice soft blue.

Grand evening, good food and good friends.

My highest recommendation for Skye Highland Outfitters for the quality and fit of the kilt hose.

Regards,

Tom
