LONG kilt hose

[ForresterModern]

I have not paid attention to the content but I would believe others who have stated that the non -white/ cream Scotishlions have a fair amount of wool content.
As to wear I have only worn them a couple of times [been concentration on other things this summer] but they are quite comfortable and stay up well on my skinny legs.

cheers

I called Scottishlion a few months ago about another item and asked them about the hose, and the customer service person said their website lists them as acrylic but only the white ones are acrylic while the colors are indeed about 70% wool. I too am 6'5" although my inseam is only 34 inches, but mine also go well up my thigh before I fold them over (several times I might add). I have several pairs and can attest to their wool content (at least my wife can as she is allergic to the wool and reacted to the colored pairs I bought but not the white). Well made socks for the price, in my opinion.

Scotweb also carries some of what they call highland socks which also are quite long with some interesting color patterns for the foldover tops, albeit a bit more expensive. They too are very nice (I have a couple pairs of them too) and long. Stretchy too.

May I suggest checking here?

I'm sure there are more companies that make them but this is the first that popped into my mind.
They also sell them in cotton if wool bothers you skin.

Thanks for this website! I just bought myself a bonnet. I may have to get a pair of those hose, too. They look nice!

Howdy,

From a guy who's kilted in the snow- I use Wader Socks from Gander Mountain or Cabelas- dyed to match the tone, of course.

Cheers,

Kevin.

I just got one of their Highland bonnets. It's really nice! It came in the mail today.

They do have the wool blend, over-the-knee socks in a color I have been looking for. I've got to get something to replace those cream hose soon...

Still sifting through all the things they have listed there, though.

Check out the Belts section! They have traditional-style garter ties. You can pick the colors you want, which is nice. I'm going to get a pair with the primary color being navy and the secondary being light blue- that will match my Clergy tartan USAK beautifully!

Not a problem! I just happened across it one day. I can't even remember now what I was searching for but it was an immediate bookmark for me.
They have quite a selection and as far as I can tell pretty reasonable prices.

Thanks for pointing out the garter ties, Nighthawk, they do have a bunch of colors.

They have knee breeches and all kinds of other items too. Definitly a site to bookmark.
