I just received my pair this afternoon and they are definitely more snug than the Lewis, Rannock or any of the patterned top House of Cheviot hose I have. Perhaps I got a really narrow pair, but, as is, I would not suggest them if you have larger than average calves. For comparison, my calves are 15-1/2 inches at their widest ( they appear pretty average to me ) I believe that the House of Cheviot "Harris" line is designed for those with larger like calves.

Best of luck!
