    A wee bit pricey!

    Check these beauties out folks, be certain to notice the origins off the wool.

    From the Prince of Wales' flock of sheep...

    Wonder if the sheep know the difference.

    At that price I'd expect the hose would have been knit by Camilla!

    Look at the bright side. They come from upper-class sheep, which means they are only designed to be worn one time and then discarded. And because they are organic, you can eat them instead of tossing them in a dust bin.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Well I'm certainly glad it's organic wool , I hate that wool that comes from synthetic sheep .

    Oh , by the way Mookien , I understand they are quite tasty with mint jelly !

    Me too. It's disgusting. I can only stomach polyester wool after it is marinated overnight in Woolite.

    Mint jelly? Hmm. I'll have to give that a try. Thanks.

    Holy heck!?!?!? I'm sure that they are fine Stockings and all but eegads!?!?

    Those things had better have been not only woven by Camilla but gift-wrapped by HRH Prince Charles himself!

    They do have quite a handsome knit to them. I like them a lot. They would look great with pretty much anything. Ironically the outdoors is the last place I'd wear them.

    Ha! Synthetic sheep. Good one.

    Out of couriosity there any hose makers on XMTS?

    Excellent idea! But, he's probably already planning to do that.
