And now i find out, I will be wearing my kilt tommorow night, and boots are right out. I need hose!

I am a cheap macbitseach, and I don't feel like ordering hose from a company with overnight shipping.

I was wondering...I saw some tall socks by Dr. Scholls awhile back that looked somewhat like hose...thickish, knit-like, and for the calf, but they're made for diabetics or something like that, loose-ish at the top, and I don't know if they stay up very easily...

I am...scrambling for quick ideas.

Do you have a sporting-goods/outdoors store nearby? You might be able to find a pair of tall wool hiking socks (oatmeal colour is the best) that might do in a pinch. Same wi' a local Boy Scout supply shop, but stay away from their red-topped hose! :mrgreen:
