The least expensive you will find are from J Higgins I suspect. They are machine knit, acrylic.
Cavet Emptor. I bought a pair of these years ago, and they still grew "beards", even after following "care and feeding" instructions.
I would recommend The Scottish Tartans Museum, Dunadd Trading Co. in Scotland (both Matt and Chris are members here) or the Tartan Thistle in Washington State. Norcalpiper, another member, is also a good source.
They look wonderful! I plan on getting a pair or three in the very near future.
I'm not so sure I would call these alternatives to diced hose -- whilst I certainly like and support this style of hose, to my eyes, they are worn with day attire, and not formal Highland rig.
