They're fitted just to you! Like a good kilt!
How right you are Arlen, last night was the RSCDS Tartan Ball I wore my Isle of Skye and my PC with the Isle of Skye hose that Diane knit for me. The hose garnered all the compliments, also with somewhere around 300 people attending there were only 3 of us with Argyll hose, many of the gents seemed to fade into the background because they were wearing off white hose.
I will be posting pictures and a wee report of the evenings festivities once I a home from work.
In short a good quality pair of hose can make an outfit, if you do not want to go hand knit then I would suggest the Hawick sock company, I have 4 pair from them each one are a pleasure to wear and I find myself building an outfit around them.
