    Another Hose Retailer

    I found this seller while cruising EBay. I have no idea about quality or fit but the prices and selection seem pretty good.

    I have used this seller before, I would recommend them to anyone looking for inexpensive yet quality hose.

    It's W. Brewin, we were just discussing them in the last week or so. Search the forum for Brewin and you'll find lots of hits, consensus seems to be good pricing, fair-to-middlin durability. I had an unpleasantly long wait for delivery but others report no such issues. Now that they have finally arrived, the half-dozen pair I ordered for Bob seem well-made and do fit his long legs and feet.

    Make sure they don't try to charge you VAT! (I had that problem with a few times.)

    I've ordered a couple of pair from them and had a good experience. The hose are good for the price!

    I have SEVERAL pair. They are my "every day" Hose.
    IMHO,Excelent hose for the $$$
    The Co. is good to work with ( sometimes needs a follow up email if you have a ??) Example, they sent me the wrong size once, BUT when I notified them of the mistake, I recieved the correct size, @ NO charge, with in a few days.

    Although, IMHO, a "casual hose" you can DRESS them up.

    I actually buy all of my every day hose from them. The price is good, and the fit is perfect. My calves are very large and muscular and flex a lot, and the socks from these guys are nice and stretchy. Gaelic Themes socks are nice, but they don't have nearly enough give, so they start to get really uncomfortable after a while. I totally recomend WB socks. I'm wearing my grey ones right now as a matter of fact.
