Yesterday I received a pair of hose I'd ordered from the College of Piping in Glasgow. The total cost was £16.72 (£12.72 + £4 for shipping and handling). That comes to about $23.42 USD for the same good quality piper hose that I've purchased from other sources for a good deal more.

The piper hose definitely help to add a bit of bulk to the legs, so give them a try!

Cheers
