For anyone who's looking for a few pair of quality cotton kilt hose for a good price:

They're good for those days when it's too warm for wool, but not warm enough (or casual enough) for bare feet. And they're probably the only machine washable and dry-able cable knit kilt hose you'll find.

It say that it's one size only, any idea what that might be?

I wear size 10 shoes american , and they are big enough for bigger feet than I have, but work fine for me. You can shrink them a bit with heat. They are nice socks for the money. I have several pair and wear them in the blacksmith shop in the summer.

Ron also has linsey/wool and merino wool socks the merino are nice and soft and the linsey are light weight. I have to dry rack the linsey and put the merino in the dryer to shrink just turn inside out.

I've got some of those. Rather comfortable, but a little breezier than my wool-blend piper socks. Really like the black ones, but I find I have to wear a pair of black compression socks under them, as they get a little transparent.
