Sale on Genmore hose

[M. A. C. Newsome]

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!

I usually recommend the Harris hose for anyone who has calves over 16", though I do know people who have calves of 17" and tell me they wear the Lewis hose with no problem.

With 15.5" calves, I would think the Glenmore would work well for you, but if you find they are too snug, just shoot me an email and we can work out something.

Sorry Matt, I didn't mean to come across as if I was complaining. If I had a problem with the hose I certainly would have come to you first before posting to an open forum. The hose are fine but, I assume that due to their composition, they seem to stretch less than the more substantial lines of House of Cheviot hose. Because of that, I too recommended the Harris line to rmacay or anyone with larger calves. I purchased these specifically because they are lighter weight (thinner), and am looking forward to testing them out soon. I'll try to get some pics posted when I do.

Thanks again for the heads up on the discount!

Great deal. I ordered on the 20th and were waiting at Post Office for me on the 24th. Plus superior customer service from Matt. I also ordered a pair of Bowmore Country Socks but in the wrong size (my bad). There is a more detailed size chart on the Amazon profile page for New House Highland. I suggest checking that chart before ordering. I also ordered flashes(yellow actually gold) and garter ties( red) from The Tartan Museum Gift shop. Both look great with the Lovat Blue/Mixed Blue Glenmore hose and my Macneil of Barra Ancient kilt. Thanks Matt!
