Too Tall?

[Lily]

I'm just about finished with my first DYI kilt and I'm getting ready to add the extras. But I have one worry. I am 6' 5" (176cm) tall and worried that I won't be able to buy kilt hose that will be long enough that I will be able to turn them down at the top without revealing too much leg. Should I be concerned? Any help and/or direction will be appreciated.

Don,t worry too much, just show ,m your legs.............................

I'm 6'3" and haven't had any problems with the regular hose. You can, however, get custom hose from Almost Unwearoutable. They make hose so strong that they may actually last as long as a kilt.

Here's their website http://www.almostunwearoutable.co.uk/

Thanks all! The advice and links are a HUGE help. Yes, my metric conversion was off...it's been a while since I had to use it...think it should have read 197cm. At least that's what I was told years ago when I was stationed in Korea with the Army. Thanks again for the advice.

I used to be 198 cm, works out to about 6'5 3/4". I have skinny legs, so regular large/ex large (wear a US size 13 shoe) will stretch up just fine. The other advice is all good.

Happy kilting

i am also tall 6'3" not as tall as you but when i bu the kilt hose because when you buy them you go but foot size and they will be long/tall enough. as said before stay away from soccor and other such socks they look funny with kilt

You shouldn't have any problem. One of my groomsmen was 6' 6" and he didn't have a problem with standard hose.
