I'm about an 18" - 19" calve. I bought a pair of "standard" hose and the cuff stretched out so thin it looked horrible and felt even worse constricted around my calve. I've never worn them again. My quest for nice looking, comfortable hose began.
Since donning the kilt with kilt hose I have learned one thing is a fact. "Standard" sizes in kilt hose DO NOT fit a person with larger than average calves. We have to buy larger sizes or socks labeled full-fit. The hose I've seen from sportkilt are basically the same soccer socks you can buy at Dicks sporting goods. NOt really good on my large calves. The folks I know who have socks that will handle my calves are:
Scottish Tartans Museum's Lewis Hose fully fashioned
Hamilton Dry Goods kilt hose
Gaelic Themes Pipers Hose
I don't know if the Brewin hose will accommodate large legs.
