These appear to be the same hose as those sold at The Scottish Lion, though a good deal cheaper, even when the shipping is considered.

I contacted them and they told me that shipping would be £3 to the United States. That would bring the total to £15.72 ($22.49) versus The Scottish Lion's price of $36.50, including shipping via USPS.

My next pair of piper hose will be from the College of Piping! (Unless someone has had a bad experience with them, that is...)

P.S. Make sure you check the VAT Exempt box under TAXES when you check out to avoid paying VAT.
I took two weeks of tuition there in the mid-90s with Angus J. MacLellan. They have a great mission and there's been some exciting changes under Principal Robert Wallace. They also host an internet radio show which futures current piping.

All other things being equal (i.e. price/ quality/ service) I like to support places that have a larger mission (College of Piping, Scottish Tartans Museum, etc.). I'd encourage everyone to check them out.

Cordially,
