    House of Cheviot Lewis Hose, Size Small, in 'Bison' Colour

    Greetings,

    I am looking for a brand new pair of kilt hose in House of Cheviot's Lewis line. I require a size small, and the colour choice is 'Bison,' which is like a earthy brownish-tan colour.

    Here is a photo of Tobus wearing his with spats.


    Cheers,

    Kyle, are you sure those are Bison in Tobus' photo? They look more like the Dark Natural to me. It could just be that the lighting in the photo makes them appear darker than they are.

    The Lewis are not being made in bison any longer, but the extremely similar Rannoch hose are made in Dark Natural, so anyone who carries House of Cheviot band hose should be able to get those for you in size S.

    I just called the STM gift shop to see if they have any old stock left of the Bison color Lewis, and all they have remaining on the shelf are 2 pair of XL.

    Thanks Matt!

    I thought Tobus had mentioned that the hose pictured were indeed the 'bison' colour? Not entirely sure, though. I had inquired with STM, and Ronan informed me that they had a size small in the dark natural Lewis hose, so I am planning to order those. I asked for Ronan to make sure they weren't the Rannoch, as I prefer the Lewis (I know they are very similiar, I'm just a weirdo like that!) hose. He informed me the pair he has in stock, a size small in dark natural, is indeed the Lewis style, but the colour in the Lewis line is not offered on the website.

    Thanks again for checking for me!

    Best,

    Best,
    The dark natural color has also been discontinued in the Lewis line, but is still available in the Rannoch, so the STM is stocking those now. That's why you won't find the Lewis in either dark natural or bison on the web site.

    If they don't get sold either in the shop or by phone, they will eventually make their way onto the sale page. So if you want them now, best call and order over the phone!
