    Argyle Kilt hose

    Good day,
    I need a recommendation for someone that can make a good pair of Argyle kilt hose. I’ve been trying to find a company but I’m not having any luck. Some assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    I know nothing of the companies (apart from the venerable USA Kilts), but a quick Google search yielded the following:

    Seems that USA Kilts also offers custom hose (and I can vouch for the company in this case!):

    Other options:

    https://www.almostunwearoutable.com/...yle-stockings/

    Perhaps one of these non-custom options might work?:

    Good luck and looking forward to seeing what you end up with!

    Cheers,

    I have had some hose made by this woman and they are the best fitting I have ever had.

    Company's name is Scotch Legs.
    Her name is Emily Rushton.

    Her socks are worth every penny.

    Scotch Legs is one of the best business names I’ve heard in ages.

    Mine full tartan hose were made by Kilkeel in Northern Ireland.

    From what I've been told they're the go-to place for Highland dancers and Pipe Bands.

    They can match pretty much any colour and are clever at doing split diamonds (like my hose) to match more complex tartans.

    They get a perfect fit if you supply accurate measurements.

    Thanks for your suggestions. I’ve ordered some from Bonnie Tartan. I’ll post photos when they arrive.
