I'm uncertain if some are headed in this direction, or not, but here's a point-of-order just in case.
Even when cut on the bias, these have far less stretch & give than knitted hosiery. They'll never be as form-fitting unless you stitch them onto your legs.
Cadadh are best suited for re-enactment garb and the like. I'd never wear them with contemporary kiltwear. There's a reason they're called 'bag hose'.
Also - the pattern I use, there's a sole & a vamp. The stitching follows the periphery of the foot and doesn't cause discomfort when a shoe is in place.
Footless cadadh also are called 'moggins'.
Slainte,
steve
