    Higgins's tartan and diced hose do not have a good track record. A friend of mine and I both ordered tartan hose from them several years ago to match our kilts, and both pairs frayed and wore out very quickly, even after we followed the "care and feeding" instructions.

    I would suggest as an alternative, the Tartan Thistle in Washington State:

    I bought a pair from them, 100%, hand-knitted, and they are much, much better than Higgins -- you pay a bit more, but you get what you pay for.

    Regards,

    Todd
