    White Piper Hose

    I finally found a pair of hose that will fit my oversized calves and now the "Bride to be " has asked if I can find a different color. I ordered a pair from The Scottish Tartans Museum in the natural color and they fit (barely), the problem is the tartan I am wearing to our wedding is the American Heritage tartan which has brighter "white" in it. I have seen that pipers wear brighter white hose and was wondering if anyone here can direct me to a place to get some piper style (bobble tops , popcorn tops or similar) hose that will fit a 21 inch calf. I do like the look of these even though they will probably rarely be worn.
    Thanks in advance

    The Kilt & Thistle has popcorn top hose in white, black and cream http://www.kilts.com/piper.htm but I'm not sure about sizes. Give them a call and see if they have any in stock for larger calves.

    I would just email all of our local Kilt Merchants here and ask them if they have white and if so what is the largest size they have. Good luck!

    they seem like a good option in case you can not find the hose.
