    Summer Hose Look, SportKilt $6 Kilt Hose Pushed Down

    Okay, here's what I've figured out as a "summer look" where its HOT...over 100 degrees F.

    I like tennis shoes with SportKilt's $6 kilt hose. They seem to be cotton with sock elastic. They don't work for my fat legs pulled up, they gap open and show skin through the hose.

    But pushed down they look good and are still cool to wear.

    This pair is the merlot color that was such a mystery for a while.



    That's the UK Blue Denim with a shirt that should show gray with imprint that almost matches the hose. They really are pushed down hose that have more body than what it looks like in the pic, they aren't crew sox.

    Bah. That's nothing.

    I spent a day out working door-to-door sales in a wool three-piece suit (coat, vest, and trousers) when it hit 122º F (50º C).

    Once it's over 100º F, there's not much variation between "It's hot" and "It's bloody hot."

    Just make sure you stay hydrated.

    Ron, looks good. I use the Sportskilt hose in much the same way.

    Meant also to say, that I usually just wear sandals when it gets hot. (Here in upstate NY over 80.)

    Gotta agree with Robertson on this... but I'm even worse as I begin to melt at 65° F (18° C). I am just not a warm weather kinda guy...give me wind and rain and/or snow over a warm Summer's day anytime.

    Happy to hear you've got something comfy to wear in those blazing temps, Ron, but are those socks pushed down or rolled down? Not being rude, I'm just curious...they look rolled down to me (on my pc). Whatever works for ya and please do what P1M suggests: Get inside and have a cold one...or better yet, a nice warm brandy might work even better.

    Hmm...come to think of it, that's a good idea if I do say so myself. See ya...

    Thumbs up

    Hi Ron!

    I grew up in the "Valley" and remember quite well the gentle
    summer days when the asphalt melted and one could fry eggs on the sidewalks (it's possible, I've done it). Still have family in Mesa and Holbrook.

    The outfit looks good and cool.

    May all your blessings be the ones you want and your friends many and true.
