Jacobite era kilt hose - knitted or sewn ?

[DCampbell16B]

This thread got me to go dig my cloth hose out as an example. I made these about the same time as OCR, late '70s and from the same pattern. (And was pleasantly surprised I could still get them on ) The tartan is fairly light weight. Based on my experience, a heavier, but somewhat looser weave would wear and fit better with this pattern. The cloth hose that figheadair posted are made from a different pattern.
