Hello all

Anyone in the US ever bought kilt hose from these guys?

They're value for money...their P&P is over the top (I can tell) but it's still a very good deal. Don't expect Lochcarron quality, but that's simple logic.
Decent hose when you don't have bulky calves.

You can see them on my website...a nice color range.

Very good value. Too bad we're not close enough to have a really big group buy and share the postage.

They're good value. I have several pairs of theirs and wear them frequently.

OK, I'm north of the border, but the postage is the same. (It's not their fault as the UK Post Office changed the rates last fall & some combinations of size & weight cost twice as much now.)

As for the socks, I ordered a 10 pack of assorted colours for Xmas & I'm well pleased with them. I must, however, agree with Robin about the fit on the calf. (Mine begin to strangle my legs afte a few hours.)

I've had a couple of pairs from Brewin's.

They're OK but could do with being a little longer for the turnover.

I too tend to shop just a little closer to home for stuff like that.

I have bought from Brewins. I was pleased with the product, but Brewins seemed very inexperienced at international shipping.

Three big problems on my order
1. Brewins included the delivery charge on the customs declaration -- meaning I had to pay taxes and duties on the air mail charge (wrong).
2. UK prices include UK sales tax (VAT), which Brewins should deduct for non-EU customers. Brewins did not do this automatically, but did after I e-mailed them.
3. Brewins also included that sales tax in the customs declaration - which I then had to pay taxes and duties on the incorrectly charged UK sales tax (a double insult).

When I complained to Brewins about all these mistakes, they did refund the import duties and taxes that I should not have paid.

I would hope that Brewins learned from these mistakes and you will not experience these problems.

KP.

I forgot to mention that Brewins sent me a cream pair of socks for which the delivery note inside was addressed to a Glasgow customer and I presume he ones he got were the Lovatt Green ones I had ordered.

Honourably they sent me a fresh pair of Lovatt Green and told me to keep the other pair FOC.
