New Kilt - question about kilt hose for large calves

Damn - that quick reply widget doesn't seem to work - typed that reply 3 times
Ok, here goes again:
Thank you all for the great info.
I have measured my calves and they are 48cm (aprox. 19") around.
Would the kilt hose from W.Brewin Co. (http://stores.channeladvisor.com/wbsocks/Kilt%20Hose/ ) fit?
The fully fashioned kilt hose from the Scottish Tartan Museum gift shop look great, if a bit pricey. But they have a delivery estimate of 4-8 weeks and I would like to get at least a pair for my upcoming birthday (scottish themed party ).
I also mailed Hamilton Dry Goods and asked about international shipping.

We don't keep a full stock of all sizes and colors on hand in the large-calf "fully fashioned" version of the Lewis hose, hence the delivery time.

BUT we do keep some in stock, so depending on what size and color you want, there is a chance we have something to your liking we could ship out immediately.

You can either call the gift shop to place your order by phone, and the person you talk to could tell you right then what is in stock (be sure you say you want the wide calf style), or if you PM me your shoe size, I can check the inventory and let you know what colors we have on hand in your size. I won't be in the museum today (Tuesday), though, so my reply would have to wait till tomorrow.

Twin City Knitting (at your local soccer shop, usually) has some black ones that work well. and cheap.

I'll have to see about my greens I think they were from one of the advertised folk here.

Thanks for the kind offer. I now have ordered "samples" from a few of the recommended shops to look if they fit me. If some don't I have a kilt-wearing friend with more "normal" calves who could probably use them
I will PM you, if all of them don't fit (my shoe size is EU 45 -> US 11). Thanks.
One question - are your shipping rates also for hose? Because $35 shipping for a pair of kilt hose seems a bit steep.
