I get mine from Highland Clans at http://www.highlandclans.co.uk/Kilt_...FTlNQgodESiW1Q they do superior hose at £20 and other single colour hose at £9.95 both prices including VAT.
There is a £5.00 shipping charge for orders under £50 but this is waved above this figure. I have found them fast to supply and good with communications. Have placed 3 separate orders with them so far.
One good thing about their socks is their length so you get a decent fold over the flashes whilst maintaining the "three finger rule"  Some other hose I tried from elsewhere were a little short in this department.
I'm sure you will be happy with them! 
Very many thanks for the link and the info, Trefor. I have ordered two pairs but what a pity that they only carry five, very ordinary colours, whilst Matt carries sixteen rather exciting colours over in the USA! I might 'phone them to see if they can get hold of a few more - even if to special order.
Anyway, I greatly appreciate your trouble - Thanks.

Hamish,
If it would help I would be glad to get the ones you want and ship then home to you if you can't get them otherwise. You could pay me via PayPal. I do it regularly with friends in the UK for car and bicycle parts that I can't get here or they can't get there.

Hamish,
Those look like the same hose complete to the label, maybe they can special order the colors they don't carry in stock for you. It's worth asking the question.

Many thanks, Chef, I will certainly bear you in mind if I do not get anywhere with a direct source on this side of the pond. Frankly, I have been too busy these past two weeks or so to follow up any enquiries, but I propose making time next week.
