Rocky's diabolical plan worked. In the course of selling me 4 pairs of cream socks at a great price, he also sold me 4 pairs of the colored ones. I hasten to add that I consider these excellent value for money.

Package reads Gaelic Themes finest quality kilt hose. The content is 70% wool, 30% nylon; and the feel is near-luxurious if your feet like wool. Mine like it, emphatically. These feel a little thicker than the cream hose, and I deduce that this is from the loft of the wool.

The sizing is similarly ambiguous, and the same logic (Large) worked out for me. I'm close to 6 feet/182cm tall, and my kilt is 21.5"/55 cm from the floor. BOTH of these styles of sock in new condition are almost, but not quite, a little long; so I think they will fit well in the long run.

Glad you got a good fit. I bought some Gaelic Themes lovat green hose, large, at the Blairsville games over the weekend, and had a bit of a struggle to get them over my 16" inch calves. Not exactly spindle-shanks, but not big either.
