It is nice to read such great reviews of the local Hawick product.
Redshank has been retailing these hose for two or three years now, he was already doing so at the time I posted this photothread about my visit to the factory of House of Cheviot /Hawick Sock Company.

I live a short walk from the factory. Robin Deas who runs the factory only does wholesale. He very generously gave me a pair of House of Cheviot hose in return for the publicity I have given his company on forums such as this, but ironically when I want to buy another pair I need to visit my local kilt shop proprietor in town and then he sends the order through to Robin.
