Socks

I was searching for historical clothing and came across these. Might make for good kilt hose.

Nice find! You can't beat the price!

I just got a pair. They are all cotton and quite tall. I will get a chance to wear them this weekend and will post a quick followup.

How did these socks work out?

[Eujeankilt]

These hose are quite tall and made with elastic, so I did not need flashes to hold them up like my acrylic and wool (and blends) hose. The first thing I noticed is my legs felt a bit cool wearing these - it could have been the elastic squeezing my calves as well. The acrylic and wool feel warm as soon as I put them on, the cotton doesn't. I didn't get cold, it was just a perception.

My wife did compliment me on them though. They look nice. I plan on wearing them casually, with my UKs and other modern kilts and I ordered another pair in grey. The service was great and shipping was fast.

Great, might have to get me a pair (or two, or three, ...)

Just to be clear on which socks you reviewed, were they the kilt socks or the Cotton Solid / Heather Socks?

I was just looking again and thinking that the striped ones would certainly make a statement.:eek:

Sometimes, I wear striped knee socks with my UK's... They actually go pretty well with my survivals and my spartan... Another source is <http://www.sock-dreams.com>.

I've bought a lot of the socks I wear with my UK's from them. Their Military Boot Socks would go well with either a black or a green UK. The striped ones go well with pretty much any color UK. My traditionals usually get paired up with kilt hose.
