Hi Bill - and like everyone else says, "Welcome"!

I am replying here because there is nothing personal in either your enquiry or my response, and also my reply might just be of interest to others.

I was initially puzzled by your reference to my "red" kilt hose and had to roll through my album at IMFF.NET to find what you were referring to. I am assuming that you saw the 'maroon' hose I was wearing with my wine-coloured "TFCK" kilt? Yes, those are true kilt hose and not socks, and they are really good and chunky! I have not worn them with a tartan kilt (yet) because none of my current tartans have maroon in them!

This pair came from Geoffrey (Tailor) Ltd. of Edinburgh - the parent company of "TFCK" - and are to be found on their website at: www.geoffreykilts.co.uk

Click on "H/Dress Accessories", and then on "Hose" to find them. The current price is £13.00 per pair in this and other colours.

I hope this helps.
