Quite possibly, but at $200 to 300 and up for a quality pair it's expensive to find out. The price of hose tops is also less expensive so I could have more choices for the same amount of money. One thing I should have mentioned is that I find myself occasionally going several days in a row in formal attire and the idea of not needing to deal with washing kilt hose on the road sounds appealing.

Oh ok, I see the angle you're coming from now. That is a very good idea. I don't really doo formal, but that might work for less formal too. I'll look forward to hearing more about the hose tops and all. Good luck.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

Chef,
Have you looked at the Tartan Thistle in Washington State? They sell 100% Tartan hose for $155. I own a pair and they are very well made; far better than the acrylic tartan/diced hose offered by J. Higgins:

As far as the spats go, I'd have to see it before I would offer my opinion.
